Padre Pio has become one of my favorite contemporary saints. I have a booklet with prayers in which you can add your own petitions so that he can intercede for you and your loved ones.
Prayer to St. Pio of Pietrelcina
Most blessed and beloved Saint Pio, you were chosen to glorify the crucified Jesus Christ through the visible wounds of the Cross that you bore for 50 years. And like our Lord Jesus, you demonstrate your great love by sharing the many gifts bestowed upon you – especially the gift of intercession.
Because of your great friendship with the Lord, He responds to your requests and blesses those who you bless. I now add my prayer to the many prayers offered to you every day by those who seek your help to obtain healings and consolations, earthly and spiritual blessings, and peace for body, mind and soul.
In your loving kindness, please bless my loved ones and me, and intercede for these special requests…that Jaypeeto4 may experience the infinite depths, heights, and breadths of the love and mercy of God, and may he and his family be brought to repentance for their sins so as to experience the peace which Jesus promised to all of us who are His disciples.
In your great love, Saint Pio, please continue to pray with us and for us. Amen.
One I think will be helpful for you is the prayer to Padre Pio to become one of his spiritual children.
Dear Padre Pio, I recall your promise to the Lord, “Lord, I will stand at the gates of heaven until I see all my spiritual children have entered.”
Encouraged by your gracious promise, I ask you to accept me as a spiritual child and to intercede for my prayer requests…(
Here state your petitions.)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, too. It always reminds me of the image of the Divine Mercy, and the words, “Jesus, I trust in You!” I hope and pray God will restore your peace.
