A Third Prayer

Japa found a prayer to St. Pio, the saint for those with cancer. Many miracles have been attributed to him, and I know we said this prayer for Dad when we thought he only had a slim chance of surviving his bout of cancer.

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina

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).

So we now have THREE prayers for Tita San. The family has agreed to say this prayer ALL AT THE SAME TIME. We know that prayer is powerful. When families say it TOGETHER, no matter where we are in the world, that makes our prayer and our petition stronger. Praying together magnifies our voices, and hopefully makes God, Jesus and all the saints hear us more. Prayer time has been set at 10 am Manila time, or 10 pm Michigan time (where Ryan and family are), or 7 pm Los Angeles time (where Roc, Tita B, and Val are).

Hopefully, armed with these prayers, another miracle will be granted. Again.
