WATER FROM THE SIDE OF CHRIST, WASH ME.
PASSION OF CHRIST, STRENGTHEN ME.
O GOOD JESUS, HEAR ME.
IN YOUR WOUNDS, HIDE ME. ~ St. Ignatius of Loyola

Chaplet of St. Padre Pio
Today is the feast of this great priest and in this Year of the Christ I encourage all priests and everyone who prays for priests to renew their relationship with St. Padre Pio, or if he is not already one of your Heavenly Companions, then I urge you to get to know him.
There are many excellent books available about his life.
Today I also wish to encourage use of what is known as the Chaplet of St. Padre Pio.
While an actual chaplet, consisting of a Crucifix, medal and three sets of beads can be aquired, the Chaplet can also be prayed without the particular beads.
It is a simple yet powerful prayer, especially in this troubled times.
Prayed 9 times, after, as in all prayer, indeed in at the beginning of everything we do as Baptized persons, signing ourselves with the Sign of the Cross, we pray:
O Jesus, full of grace and charity, Victim for sinners, so impelled by Your love of us that You died on the Cross, I humbly beg You to glorify in heaven and on earth St. Padre Pio who generously participated in Your sufferings, who loved You so much and laboured so faithfully for the glory of Your Heavenly Father and for the good of souls.
With confidence, I beg You to grane me, through his intercession………………..which I ardently desire.
In conclusion are prayed: 3 Our Father, 3 Hail Mary, 3 Glory be….
Forgiveness Prayer
+ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
I solemnly declare my trust in You alone, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as the only judge of the actions of others.
And so, Father, I forgive_______________and I give You permission to take the judgement and bitterness out of my life. I do not want it and I surrender it to You. Most Holy Spirit I ask You to heal me where I have been wounded, to forgive me where I have sinned, and I choose not now to blame or hold the actions of others against them. Lord Jesus, henceforth I surrender to You all my rights to be paid back for my loss by those who have sinned against me.
Bless them in every way. Amen.
Mother Mary, grant me to love and forgive as you loved and forgave at the foot of the Cross. Amen.
Prayer of Healing
O Lord Jesus Christ, out of love You died and rose for me and gave me the Holy Spirit. In His light and through the prayers of your Holy Mother, proclaim the Gospel of Your love in my heart and in my life today. I renounce attachment to sin, and I rebuke in Your Name every spirit of evil and disorder. Let Your risen glory shine all through me that I may love and adore You with my whole being. Shine in my body – my brain and nervous system, my chemistry, every tissue and organ. Shine in my mind and will and all their powers, in my psyche, my unconcsious, my sexuality, and all my energies so that I may love and work, pray, play and sleep in Your holiness. Shine in my heart and spirit. Put to death my egoism. Cast out my fear and every snful habit. Enlighten me wholly and transform all my relationships. Fully restore Your image in me so that I no longer live, but You live in me. Root me and center me in the Father’s love. Consecrate me to His praise and to the whole-hearted love of my brothers and sisters, and order all my days and deeds in Your peace. For You are my life and my hope, my joy and my healing, and I send up glory to You and Your eternal Father, together with Your all holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
