Thought and prayer of Padre Pio today 16 February 2019

Pray to St. Joseph! Pray to St. Joseph to feel him close in life and in the last agony, together with Jesus and Mary.

O Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who nourished a great devotion to the Souls of Purgatory for which you offered yourself as an atoning victim, pray to the Lord that he will instill in us the feelings of compassion and love that you had for these souls, so that we too are able to reduce their times of exile, making sure to earn for them, with sacrifices and prayers, the holy indulgences they need.

“O Lord, I beg you to want to pour over me the punishments which are prepared for sinners and purging souls; multiply them above me, as long as you convert and save sinners and free the souls of purgatory soon ». Father Pio
