Day 4: novena to Padre Pio
I. O my Jesus, you have said:
“Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.”
Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of …… (here name your request)
Our Father …. Hail Mary …. Glory Be to the Father …. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
II. O my Jesus, you have said:
“Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.”
Behold, in your name, I ask the Father for the grace of ……. (here name your request)
Our Father …. Hail Mary ….Glory Be to the Father …. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
III. O my Jesus, you have said:
“Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.”
Encouraged by your infallible words I now ask for the grace of ….. (here name your request)
Our Father …. Hail Mary …. Glory Be to the Father … Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender Mother and ours.
Say the Hail, Holy Queen and add: St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us.
For serious sins we all need (and so we recommend) to unburden ourselves (confess these serious sins) in the sacrament of Confession as soon as possible.
Try to confess your sins regularly. A meditation: " Jesus says: "Do not be afraid, I love you. Give me the joy to forgive you in the sacrament of confession/reconciliation. Ask my priest to guide you" ".
If you need help to prepare to go to Confession and receive God's love and mercy/forgiveness and to know how to be ready to receive Holy Communion worthily (i.e. we need to be in the state of grace,...) see, https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/sacrament-of-penance-examination-of-conscience-9121 and "Who Can Receive Holy Communion?" see https://www.catholic.com/tract/who-can-receive-communion
