FI News #14 – Bro. Francis Mary Kalvelage on Fatima Today >>> Play

Ave Maria!

We are so grateful here at AirMaria.com to Louise Marciano, the producer of the show “Fatima Today”, which is broadcast on several cable networks in the Boston area, for sending us this episode of the show with Bro. Francis Mary Kalvelage as the guest.

We hope you enjoy this episode of “Fatima Today” entitled “Padre Pio – The Wonder Worker”, and as I was previewing this show, it brought back lots of pleasant memories of this wonderful religious brother and our brother in Christ. I am sure that his books will be treasured for ages to come even after he has passed from this life.

On the video, it says that the book “Padre Pio – The Wonder Worker” is available from Ignatius Press – this may be so, but please try marymediatrix.com first! We also apologize for the technical problems during the opening sequence of the show – persevere – it gets better.

Ave Maria!

P.S. – The great number of inquiries about how Bro. Francis is doing is a great testimony of how much he is loved and admired. Thanks to all the good help at Sacred Heart Nursing Home he is doing well. He is still on a feeding tube. He still recognizes people and is able to respond sometimes. But with his paralysis from his stroke he is certainly doing his purgatory on earth. So please keep him in your prayers.

Ave Maria Meditations

September 23rd: St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Stay with me, Lord
Prayer of St. Pio of Pietrelcina after Holy Communion

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have
You present?so that I do not forget You.
You know how easily I abandon You.

Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak
and I need?Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,
and without You, I am without fervor.

Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,
and without You, I am in darkness.

Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.

Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.

Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You
very much,?and always be in Your company.

Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.

Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is,
I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.

Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close,?and life passes;
death, judgment,?eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength,
so that I will not stop along the way and for that,?I need You.
It is getting late and death approaches,
I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness,?the cross, the sorrows.
O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!

Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it?s dangers. I need You.
Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread,
so that the Eucharistic Communion?be the Light which disperses the darkness,
the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.

Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You,
if not by communion, at least by grace and love.

Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it,
but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!

Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart,
Your Spirit,?because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.

With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth
and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity.??? Amen

Efficacious Novena To The Sacred Heart Of Jesus
(This novena prayer was recited every day by Padre Pio for all those who asked his prayers)

O my Jesus, You have said, ?Truly I say to you, ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.? Behold, I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of…Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be to the Father… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.II. O my Jesus, You have said, ?Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, He will give it to you.? Behold, in Your name, I ask the Father for the grace of…Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be to the Father… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

III. O my Jesus, You have said, ?Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.? Encouraged by Your infallible words, I now ask for the grace of…Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be to the Father… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us poor sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of You, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate heart of Mary, Your tender mother and ours.

Hail, Holy Queen… St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Dear God, You generously blessed Your servant,
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, with the gifts of the Spirit.
You marked his body with the five wounds
of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness
to the saving Passion and Death of Your Son.
Endowed with the gift of discernment,
St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional
for the salvation of souls.
With reverence and intense devotion
in the celebration of Mass,
he invited countless men and women
to a greater union with Jesus Christ
in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

Through the intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina,
I confidently beseech You to grant me
the grace of (here state your petition).??? Amen.

Glory be to the Father… (three times).

Prayer of Pope John Paul II to St. Pio of Pietrelcina
Pope John Paul II recited this prayer
on the occasion of the canonization of Padre Pio, June 16, 2002

Teach us, we pray, humility of heart,
so that we may be counted
among the little ones of the Gospel
to whom the Father promised to reveal
the mysteries of His Kingdom.
Help us to pray without ceasing,
certain that God knows what we need
even before we ask Him.
Obtain for us the eyes of faith that will help us recognize
in the poor and suffering, the very face of Jesus.
Sustain us in the hour of trouble and trial and, if we fall,
let us experience the joy of the sacrament of forgiveness.
Grant us your tender devotion to Mary,
mother of Jesus and our Mother.
Accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage
toward the blessed Homeland,
where we too, hope to arrive to contemplate forever
the Glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.??? Amen
