Kyrie eleison, Chryste eleison, Kyrie eleison.

God the Father of Heaven – have mercy on us. Son, Redeemer of the world, God-Spirit Holy God-Holy Trinity, One God - Holy Mary – pray for us. All Saints and Holy God – Saint Padre Pio,
Faithful to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, Passionate about the humility and poverty of Jesus Christ,
A zealous priest of Jesus Christ, Faithful follower of Saint Francis of Assisi,
In their body they bear the signs of the Savior's Passion,
Enjoying supernatural gifts, Ornament of the Franciscan Order, Bringing the world good and peace,
A chosen vessel of holiness and grace, Tireless in reconciling sinners with God,
The fear of the hellish spirits, Conquering hearts with the simplicity and power of God's word,
Teaching more by example than by word,
Model of love for God and neighbor, Meeting Christ in every human being,
Caretaker of the suffering,
Consolation of the unfortunate,
Enduring humiliation with patience, Brave in the midst of adversity, The model of Franciscan poverty, Model of priestly chastity,
A man of perfect obedience, Hidden life lover,
A man of prayer, concentration and contemplation,
Prayer teacher drawing closer to Christ,
Mighty our intercessor with God,
Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world – Let us through, Lord. Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world – Listen…
Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world – Have mercy…
– Pray for us, Saint Padre Pio,
– That we may become worthy of Christ's promises.

Let's pray:

God, You made, that Saint Padre Pio lived in poverty and humility, in order to be like your Son, Jesus Christ; make it happen, we ask you, that we may follow the same path, with his help, they imitated your Son and united with you in full joy and love. Amen.
