Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, You make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideal. You give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me. You are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank You for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You, no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. Amen. Recite this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Prayers to Our Lady
O most glorious virgin and our merciful mother, thou art indeed our lady of miracles for the wonderful graces thou bestowed upon whoever implored thee. With tears and a humble heart I ask and beseech three to grant me this grace...
I promise to seek henceforth more love towards thee and Jesus Our Lord and Saviour.
Thank God for favours received through the intercession of St Padre Pio. M.F.
O most loving Lady of the Grotto, as no one ever had recourse to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, and was left forsaken; I humbly beseech you to grant me this grace . . . Grant me also the grace of a safe journey through life. Above all, o most gracious mother, I beg you to obtain for me the grace to persevere ever faithful to the will of God, that I may enjoy His blessing here on earth, and the company of His saints hereafter in heaven. Amen. Hail Mary. M.F.
