St. Pio Prayer of Trust and Confidence

By: St. Padre Pio

O Lord, we ask for a boundless confidence and trust in Your divine mercy, and the courage to accept the crosses and sufferings which bring immense goodness to our souls and that of Your Church.

Help us to love You with a pure and contrite heart, and to humble ourselves beneath Your cross, as we climb the mountain of holiness, carrying our cross that leads to heavenly glory.

May we receive You with great faith and love in Holy Communion, and allow You to act in us, as You desire, for Your greater glory.

O Jesus, most adorable heart and eternal fountain of Divine Love, may our prayer find favor before the Divine Majesty of Your Heavenly Father. Amen.

Make me a channel (Prayer of St. Francis)

1

Make me a channel of your peace

Where there is hatred let me bring your love; Where there is injury, your pardon Lord And where there is doubt true faith in You.

Refrain

Oh Master grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand To be loved as to love with all my soul.

2

Make me a channel of your peace

Where there is despair in life let me bring hope; Where there is darkness only light And where there’s sadness ever joy.

3

Make me a channel of your peace

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; In giving to all men that we receive And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
