Novena to St. Padre Pio
Opening prayer:
St. Padre Pio, faithful servant of God and bearer of the wounds of Christ, you who spent yourself for sinners at the altar and in the confessional, draw near to me now. Obtain for me a deeper love of Jesus and confidence in His mercy. Amen.
Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.
Day 8: Charity and the House for the Relief of Suffering
From his prayer flowed action, and Padre Pio built a great hospital, the Home for the Relief of Suffering, to serve the sick in body and soul. He wished it to be a temple of science and of prayer at once. He saw in every patient the wounded Christ of the Gospel, who told us that whatever we do for the least of His brethren we do for Him, and he longed that mercy be shown to all.
O Padre Pio, whose prayer overflowed in works of mercy, obtain for me a generous and compassionate heart. Open my eyes to the suffering around me, and move my hands to relieve it, that my devotion may bear fruit in true charity toward Christ in His afflicted ones. Amen.
Today's intention:
For the grace to let my prayer overflow into concrete works of mercy.
Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Pater noster, qui es in cælis,
sanctificétur nomen tuum.
Advéniat regnum tuum.
Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,
sed líbera nos a malo.
Amen.

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta María, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.

Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Closing prayer:
St. Padre Pio, who taught us to pray, to hope, and not to worry, intercede for me before the throne of God. Win for me the grace I seek and, above all, the will to belong wholly to Christ. Amen.
