In an effort to spread the power of prayer to St. Padre Pio to all faithful, we at St. Padre Pio Parish have established this site. Prayers submitted will not only be posted here, but also remembered in the Prayer of the Faithful at each Sunday Mass.

Let Us Pray...

Year for Priests

Friday, June 19th, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, marked the start of the Year for Priests, a year-long celebration called for by Pope Benedict XVI.  The Year for Priests is timed with the 150th anniversary of the birth of St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests worldwide.  Please pray for our priests that they may be faithful to their call and that others will answer the call to priesthood.

Prayer for Priests

O Jesus, our great High Priest, hear our humble prayers on behalf of your priests.  Give them a deep faith, a bright and firm hope and a burning love which will ever increase in the course of their priestly life.
In loneliness, comfort them.  In sorrows, strengthen them.  In frustrations, show them that it is through suffering that the soul is purified.
Show them that they are needed by the Church, needed by souls, needed for the work redemption.
O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, take to your heart your sons who are close to you because of their priestly ordination, and because of the power which they have received to carry on the work of Christ in a world which needs them so much.
Be their comfort, be their joy, be their strength, and especially help them to give witness to and love faithfully the promises of their ordination.

                                                                                                                               

Amen
