My girlfriend who I made a Cursillo with a few years ago, and I took a trip this weekend to Padre Pios Shrine in Pennsylvania.
I especially prayed for my mom and dad, and husband for healings, but I also prayed for all of you there. The moment spent in prayer with his glove and by his confessional was a feeling I could not begin to explain.

Dear God, You generously blessed Your servant,
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, with the gifts of the Spirit.
You marked his body with the five wounds
of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness
to the saving Passion and Death of Your Son.
Endowed with the gift of discernment,
St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional
for the salvation of souls.
With reverence and intense devotion
in the celebration of Mass,
he invited countless men and women
to a greater union with Jesus Christ
in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

Through the intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina,
I confidently beseech You to grant me
the grace of (here state your petition). Amen.

Glory be to the Father... (three times).
