St. Padre Pio and St. Gertrude, pray for us.
Prayer of Saint Padre Pio
May Jesus comfort you in all your afflictions.
May He sustain you in dangers, watch over you
always with His grace, and indicate the safe path
that leads to eternal salvation. And may He render
you always dearer to His Divine Heart and always
more worthy of Paradise. Amen
-St. Pio of Pietrelcina


Prayer of Saint Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
