Monday, Memorial of St. Padre Pio, Priest, 23 September 2024
Proverbs 3:27-34 <*((((>< + ><))))*> Luke 8:16-18
Jesus said to the crowd: “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that hose who enter may see the light… Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away” (Luke 8:16, 18).
God our loving Father,
thank you very much in giving
us a modern saint in San Pedro Pio
who is so beloved not only for his
miracles but most of all
in his bringing your Son Jesus Christ's
light into this dark modern world,
listening always not only to You
but to everyone so weighed down
by sin and all forms of sufferings.
With your so many gifts
to San Padre Pio
especially the stigmata of Jesus,
he remained so humble,
witnessing to this
modern world of excessive
wealth and poverty
in money and spirituality,
San Padre Pio refused no one
whatever good he could offer
to those who came to him
and continue to come to him
for intercession.
Fill us, dear Father,
with St. Padre Pio's same love
of You and love of neighbor
rooted in the meaningful celebration
and deep love for the Holy Eucharist,
always making your light shining
brightly in our life of witnessing
as we too listen intently to your words
through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
