Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
0923 Priest (First Order)
Entrance Antiphon [ Gal 6:14 ]
The cross of our Savior Jesus Christ is the only thing about which I can boast. Through it the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.
Collect
Almighty ever-living God, who, by a singular grace, gave the Priest Saint Pio a share in the Cross of your Son and, by means of his ministry, renewed the wonders of your mercy, grant that through his intercession we may be united constantly to the sufferings of Christ, and so brought happily to the glory of the resurrection. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Prayer over the Offerings
Accept our gifts, O Lord, which we offer you in memory of Saint Pio. May this Eucharist which proclaims your glory gain for us eternal salvation. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon [ Mt 28:20 ]
Know that I am with you always, until the end of the world, says the Lord.
Prayer after Communion
Loving God, you have nourished us with the Bread of life and the cup of eternal salvation. Inspired by the example of Saint Pio, may we honor you with lives of faithful service, and with unconditional love, do all we can to help others. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
