A Mother’s Prayer to St. Rose of Lima

 St. Rose, devout Virgin, fragrant rose in the garden of God, sweetly blooming amid the thorns of distressing tribulation and severe mortification, white as snow in the immaculate innocence of your heart, glowing in the love of God that consumed you.

Your devotedness to your parents was so great that you labored night and day to relieve their poverty, and most tenderly cared for them in their sickness.

Most grateful, most humble daughter, have pity on me and my children. Teach me, by conduct truly Christian, to deserve the warmhearted gratitude of my children. Teach my children to appreciate my love and the numerous sacrifices that I cheerfully make for their sake; teach them to repay the same by filial love and obedience, and chiefly by fervent prayers for me.

Bless me and my entire family. May our hearts be intimately united even in adversity. Let us not place our happiness in temporal prosperity, but rather in the hope of a future eternal blessedness.

Pray, likewise, O sainted patroness of America, for all Christian mothers in particular, that Christian life and sentiments may everywhere be awakened among them. May these sentiments spread far and wide, uniting all families into the one great family of God, in which Jesus Christ may live and rule with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Novena to St. Pio of Pietrelcina

 St. Pio, teach us to pray with Humility so that we may be among the humble to whom the Father promised in the gospel to reveal the mysteries of His Kingdom.

 St. Pio, teach us to pray with Faith that will help us to recognize the face of Jesus Himself in the poor and suffering.
Support us in our hour of troubles and trials, and should we fall, let us know the joy of the sacrament of forgiveness.

 St. Pio, teach us tender devotion to Mary, Mother of Christ and our Mother.  To you we entrust the request of presenting our souls to the Virgin of Grace to obtain eternal salvation from the Lord.

 St. Pio, you are our friend, consoler of our souls, and help of us sinners. You understand us so well, for you know what it means to suffer. Please look after our well-being and that of
our loved ones.

 St. Pio, to you we entrust our spirit that we may endure the pains we carry in our heart.

 St. Pio, accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage towards the blessed Homeland, where we, too, hope to arrive to contemplate eternally the Glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

 O glorious St Pio, to you we entrust our plea of intercession to obtain from the Divine Goodness the graces which we so ardently desire. Welcome us under your protection, defend us from all evil, and above all, intercede for us before the Most High, Jesus Christ, so that through the forgiveness of sins we may persevere in doing good.  Amen.

 O God, You gave St. Pio the great privilege of participating in a unique way in the passion of Your Son. Grant me, through his intercession the grace of….[silently mention your
petition]….. which I ardently desire; and above all, grant me the grace to live in conformity with the death of Jesus, to arrive at the glory of the resurrection.

Glory be to the Father…… (three times)

Hail Holy Queen……

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. 

St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us.

A prayer to St. Rita of Cascia, for an impossible cause

 In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

Under the weight of my burden, I turn to you, dear Rita, holy woman and saint. I am confident that you will hear my prayers and intercede on my behalf.

You, who were chosen by God to be an advocate for those whose cases are most desperate, have the graces necessary to understand my need. [Mention your intention.]

If my sins are an obstacle, impeding the fulfillment of my urgent plea, I beg you to obtain for me, from God, the necessary grace to see and understand my sinfulness, that I may, in sincere contrition, make a heartful reconciliation through the sacrament of penance.

From the glory of heaven, have compassion upon me, you who suffered by the grace of the thorn and the rose, that my suffering and anxieties may be lessened, that I may bear my crosses with courage, contentment and trust. I will everywhere proclaim my debt and friendship to you.

Oh, Bride of Jesus crucified, help me to live well and to die well. Amen.
