 3 Months & 3 days with St Padre Pio to guide you to Christmas

Padre Pio, teach us, we pray, humility of heart, so that we may be
counted among the little ones of the Gospel to whom the Father promised to
reveal the mysteries of His Kingdom.
Help us to pray without ceasing, certain that God knows what we need
even before we ask Him.
Obtain for us the eyes of faith that will help us recognize in the poor and
suffering, the very face of Jesus.
Sustain us in the hour of trouble and trial and, if we fall, let us
experience the joy of the sacrament of forgiveness.
Grant us your tender devotion to Mary, mother of Jesus and our
Mother.
Accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage toward the blessed Homeland,
where we too, hope to arrive to contemplate forever the Glory of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.    Amen

Novena for the sick with St Josemaria

O God,
Through the mediation of Mary our Mother, you granted your priest Saint Josemaria countless
graces, choosing him as a most faithful instrument to found Opus Dei, a way of sanctification in daily work and in the fulfillment of the Christian's ordinary duties.
Grant that I too may learn to turn all the circumstances and events of my life into occasions of loving you and serving the Church, the Pope and all souls with joy and simplicity, lighting up the pathways of this earth with faith and love.
Deign to grant me, through the intercession of Saint Josemaria, the favour of... (make your request).

AMEN.
