PRAYER to obtain the canonization of PADRE PIO
O Jesus, full of grace and charity, victim for our sins, who, driven by love for our souls, wished to die on the cross, I humbly pray you to also glorify on this earth the blessed Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who, in generous participation in your sufferings, loved you so much and gave so much for the glory of your Father and for the good of souls. I implore you, therefore, to grant me, through his intercession, the grace… that I ardently desire.
Three Glory Be.
