Submit
Your Intentions: Three Holy Masses, May 23-25
Dear Friend,
When the birthday of someone that
is dear to you approaches, you start to think “what gift shall I
give?”
The birthday of a dearly loved
intercessor in heaven, St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, is May 25. Let us
honor him on the 137th Anniversary of his birth. Saints in heaven are
endlessly filled with joy at the beatific vision of God, with their
glorified bodies – yet, they want to help souls with their earthly
struggles. That is exactly what St. Padre Pio wants to do for you and
I, for he had said: "I will stand at the gates of Heaven and I will
not enter until all of my spiritual children are with me." Ask St.
Padre Pio in your heart to be his spiritual child, so he can speedily
intercede for your needs before the throne of God - to send you a
grace, a “gift” for his birthday, for he has been known to have a
“heart of gold.”
You must do your part while praying
to St. Padre Pio for these three days: practice the virtue of charity
toward your neighbor, with acts of kindness, pray the Holy Rosary too,
for Padre Pio had an immense devotion to Blessed Virgin Mary. Finally,
place your hope and trust in God. In fact, he was quoted as saying:
“Our Lady wishes to be served by praying the Blessed Rosary in order
to give us graces and blessings.”
The life of St. Padre Pio was
indeed extraordinary in many ways, with the gifts God gave him.
Through the power of God, he was able to read people’s souls, bilocate
and even levitate off the ground.
He received the holy wounds of
Christ, the stigmata on his hands, feet and sides, which bled for
fifty years, and even had a shoulder wound that he kept
secret.
He saw his suffering as an
instrument to get closer to God. And God did indeed answer a multitude
of prayers, bringing extraordinary miracles in the lives of countless
people who came to him for spiritual help.
Please join me in prayer during
these three days invoking the intercession of St. Padre Pio, from May
23-25. Submit your intentions for the Three Holy Masses beginning on May
23.
Let us invoke St. Padre Pio, who is
a mirror of the divine life and the helper of souls in doubt and
darkness.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
