Padre Pio, you know me by name, you know my life, and you know my affliction.

You have seen my eyes weep and my face become sad, and you know well that my soul is pierced with anguish.

Dearest Padre Pio, during your earthly life you showed great love for the sorrowful. Hear my prayer and intercede before almighty God so that I may receive a miraculous blessing for the favor I ask (express your request with great faith and confidence).

Gentle Padre Pio, strengthen my faith, for I feel tormented with uncertainty. Calm my fears so that my steps may not falter.

O Padre Pio, you always showed compassion for others’ sufferings, and you have always poured yourself out lovingly for those who have recourse to you in prayer asking for a special favor.

With confidence I entrust myself to your protection, which is so great, so strong, and so immediate before the throne of God.

Beloved Padre Pio, help me by your powerful intercession to receive a miraculous response to the favor I ask of you.

Glorious Padre Pio, amidst these trials, teach me to understand the love that God has for me; and if it is not possible that “this cup pass from me,” help me to accept it with devotion and obedience.

Grant me the strength and courage to bear my cross. Renew my heart; make it loving and full of goodness; let it know how to recognize in my life the fruits of the spirit so that, through them, I may renew my love for God every day. Inspire me to follow you in love, to be more generous, and to do good works.

Padre Pio, let this affliction purify me, make me worthy of being heard, and transform me into a new man, to be closer to you and to our Lord Jesus Christ who is in heaven. May his will be done now and forever.

Amen.
