Prayer to Saint Paul for Patience
Feast, January 25
Glorious Saint Paul, from a persecutor of Christianity, you became a very ardent and zealous apostle,
and suffered imprisonment, scourging, stoning, shipwreck and endured persecutions of every kind, in order to make the Savior Jesus Christ known to the farthest bounds of the world. In the end you shed your blood to the last drop.
Obtain for us the grace to face our sickness, afflictions, misfortunes, and seeming failures of life as opportunities to grow in patience and perseverance.
Above all, and in all things make us ever more faithful and more fervent.
Amen.
Pray for us, Saint Paul the Apostle,

Amen.
Prayer to Saint Dominic Savio for Parents and Children
Feast, March 9
Dear Saint Dominic, you spent your short life totally for love of Jesus and his Mother.
Help the youth of today to realize the importance of God in their lives.
You became a saint through fervent participation in the sacraments.
Enlighten parents and children on the importance of frequent Confession and Holy Communion. At a young age you meditated on the sorrowful Passion of our Lord.
Obtain for us the grace of a fervent desire to suffer for love of him.
We desperately need your intercession to protect today’s children from the snares of the world.
Watch over them and lead them on the narrow road to heaven.
Ask God to give us the grace to sanctify our daily duties by performing them perfectly out of love for him. Remind us of the necessity of practicing virtue specially in times of trial.
Saint Dominic Savio, you who preserved your Baptismal innocence of heart, pray for us.
Prayer to Saint Joseph
Patron of Good Husbands and Workers Feast, March 19, May 1
Oh, Saint Joseph, whose protection is so strong, so great, so prompt before the throne of God.
I place in you all my interests and desires.
Oh, Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain from your Divine Son for me all spiritual blessings through Christ our Lord, so that, having engaged here below your heavenly power,
I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers.
Oh, Saint Joseph, I am never weary?
of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms.
I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart.
Press him in my name, and kiss his fine head for me, and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
Saint Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me.
Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned nor shall poison take effect on them. Neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy nor shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.
Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail.
This prayer was found in the 50th year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going to battle.

Allow me to trust the Lord the way you did in this moment of distress.
I want to be cured, but right now I ask God
for the strength to bear the cross in my life.
I seek the power to proclaim
God’s presence in my life
despite the hardship, anguish, and fear
I now experience.
O glorious Saint Peregrine,
be an inspiration to me and petitioner
of those needed graces
from our loving Father.
Amen.

Prayer to Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
Patron of the Unborn
Beloved Padre Pio, Saint of Pietrelcina,
today I come to add my prayer to the thousands of prayers offered to you every day by those who love and venerate you.
They ask for cures and healings,
earthly and spiritual blessings,
and peace for body and mind.
Because of your friendship with the Lord,
he heals those whom you ask to be healed,
and forgives those whom you forgive. Through your visible wounds of the cross,
which you bore for 50 years,
you were chosen in our time to glorify the crucified Jesus.
Because the cross has been replaced
by other symbols, please help us to bring it back in our midst, for we acknowledge that it is the only true sign of salvation.
As we lovingly recall the wounds that pierced your hands, feet, and side,
we not only remember the blood you shed in pain, but your smile, and the invisible halo of sweet smelling flowers that surrounded your presence, on way the perfume of sanctity.
Padre Pio, the healings of the sick are the testimony that the Lord has invited you to join the holy company of saints.
In your kindness, please help me with my own special request
(Mention here your petition, and make the sign of the cross).
Bless me and my loved ones.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
