My dad was devoted to St. Pio of Pietrelcina, and St. Pio was devoted to prayer.
Today, on his feast day, I remember Pop, and offer you this brief prayer composed by Padre Pio:
May Jesus comfort you
in all your afflictions.
May He sustain you in dangers,
watch over you always with His grace,
and indicate the safe path
that leads to eternal salvation.
And may He render you
always dearer to His Divine Heart
and always more worthy of Paradise. Amen.
Mother Teresa creepy? Have you LOOKED at Padre Pio??? Now THAT’S creepy.
Ha. He’s not a bobble head.
I blame Lisa.
It’s that raised eyebrow thing…
Seriously. You make me laugh.
You, too, can raise your eyebrows. Practice!
Thanks for the reminder. 🙂 God did work a lot through Padre Pio.
Lovely prayer, thank you. But Padre Pio, from this distance, looks alarmingly like James Lipton. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Hahah. My brother suggested Spock’s father in Star Trek V. Not sure which one is better.
