NOVENA IN SAN PIO to ask for a special grace

O God, come and save me, Lord come quickly to my aid.

FIRST DAY
O Saint Pius, for the ardent love you have nourished for Jesus, for the tireless struggle that has seen you victor over evil, for the contempt for the things of the world, for having preferred poverty to riches, humiliation to glory, pain to pleasure, allow us to progress on the path of Grace for the sole purpose of pleasing God. Help us to love others as you have loved even those who have slandered and persecuted you. Help us to live humble, selfless, chaste, hardworking and to observe our good Christian duties. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

SECOND DAY
O Saint Pius, for the tender love you have always shown for Our Lady, help us to make our devotion to the sweet Mother of God ever more sincere and profound, so that we may be granted its powerful protection during our life and especially in hour of our death. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

THIRD DAY
O Saint Pius, who in life suffered the continuous attacks of Satan, always coming out victorious, makes sure that we too, with the help of the archangel Michael and the trust of the divine help, do not surrender to the abominable temptations of the devil, but fight against evil, make us more and more fortified and confident in God. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

FOURTH DAY
O Saint Pius, who knew the suffering of the flesh, who worked tirelessly to help others endure the pain, ensure that we too, animated by your spirit, can face any adversity and learn to imitate your heroic virtues. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

FIFTH DAY
O Saint Pius, who loved all souls with an ineffable love, who have been an example of apostolate and charity, you get that we too love our neighbor with a holy and generous love and we can show ourselves worthy children of the Holy Catholic Church. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

SIXTH DAY
O Saint Pius, who with your example, words and writings have shown a particular fondness for the beautiful virtue of purity, also help us to practice it and propagate it with all our strength. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

SEVENTH DAY
O Saint Pius, who have given comfort and peace to the afflicted, thanks and favors, deign to console even our grieved soul. You, who have always had so much compassion for human sufferings and were consoling for so many afflicted, console us too and grant us the grace we ask for. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

EIGHTH DAY
O Saint Pius, you who have given protection to the sick, oppressed, slandered, abandoned, as thousands of pilgrims in San Giovanni Rotondo and throughout the world testify, also intercede for us with the Lord to grant our wishes. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...

NINTH DAY
O Saint Pius, who has always been comfort for human miseries, deign to turn your eyes towards us, that we need your help so much. Send the maternal blessing of Our Lady down on us and our families, get all the spiritual and temporal graces we need, intercede for us throughout our life and at the moment of our death. Amen.
Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...
