Novena Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
Prayer for every day
Stay Lord with me, because I need Your presence so I don’t forget You. You know how easily I can abandon you. Stay Lord with me, because I am weak and I need Your strength not to fall. Stay Lord with me, because you are my life, and without you I lose my fervor. Stay Lord with me, because you are my light, and without you darkness reigns. Stay Lord with me, to show me Your will. Stay Lord with me, so that I may hear Your voice and follow You. Stay Lord with me, as I desire to love you and always remain in your company. Stay Lord with me, if you want me to be faithful to you. Stay Lord with me, because, however poor my soul may be, I want it to become a place of consolation for You, a nest of love. As a resolute love, I desire to love You with all my heart while I am on earth, to continue to love You perfectly throughout eternity. So be it. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory to the Father.
Saint Padre Pio, pray for us!
Everything for Jesus, nothing without Mary.
