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" ".
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.
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
“His heart is pure, full of love for God, Mama Mary, the Church. Maybe that's why it never decomposed.” Fr Gonda
Padre Pio's intercession
People generally ask Padre Pio's prayers for protection or healing graces, yet any kind of petition for grace should be laid before the Padre – for oneself or for a relative.
"Mary has recommended the Rosary at Lourdes and Fatima because of its exceptional value for us and our times." (Saint Padre Pio).
If it's not already part of your life we invite you to pray with the heart one Rosary (5 decades) or more per day or at least one decade of the Rosary per day (i.e: one Our Father and ten Hail Mary, while meditating on a mystery of the rosary). For help how to meditate the mysteries please click on this link HERE, or HERE (audio meditations).
To pray with us, find our audio decades on those links:
- The Annunciation, led by Br Seraphim Marie
- The Visitation, led by Br Seraphim Marie
- The Nativity led by Br Seraphim Marie, Fr. Bernardino Maria and the children of the Youth Club.
- The Presentation, led by Br Seraphim Marie
- The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple, led by Br Seraphim Marie
Under 18s, we encourage you to pray at least one Hail Mary per day.

Who are the Franciscans Friars of the Renewal?
This online retreat is lead by the Franciscans Friars of the Renewal from Limerick.
Learn more about them, through their website.
And visit their Facebook page “Limerick Franciscans”.
The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal were founded in 1987, in the Archdiocese of New York, when eight American Capuchins desired a form of Franciscan life dedicated specifically to service of the poor and evangelization. Currently, there are about 100 perpetually professed members of the institute serving in 10 dioceses and archdioceses, in six countries, committed to the mission of serving the poor and most vulnerable, and passionately preaching the Gospel in the New Evangelization. The Holy See describes the Institute's charism: “After the manner of St. Francis of Assisi, the friars seek to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, as a prophetic witness that life is a pilgrimage to the Father, of faith, hope, and love of God and neighbour, made possible by the Holy Spirit. They participate in Christ's renewal of all things through their prayer, fraternal life, service of the poor, and evangelization, as a complement to the work of those whose mission is to serve parochially.”
