St. Pio Novena & Pryaers Day 1

Day 1
Intention
[please include your own also.]
We pray that women become aware of their need to elevate the level of dignity of womanhood; starting with their own.

Padré Pio of Pietrelcina, loving father, you bore the visible Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ on your body. You carried the Cross for all humanity. In bearing the physical and moral sufferings that continually tortured your body and soul you became a martyr of love for all people. We beg you to intercede for us with our Almighty Father that we may have the courage to accept the great and small crosses of life that transform individual suffering into a sure link that leads us to eternal life.
Padré Pio: "You should feel at home with sufferings that it pleases Jesus to send you, since you always have to live with them. Acting thus you think less of being freed from them. Jesus Who cannot suffer long to keep you in affliction will come to relieve and comfort you by infusing fresh courage into your soul."
