Prayer Day 9

Jesus says: “Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you
and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on My account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.”

Pier Giorgio responds: “We who by the grace of God are Catholics
must steer ourselves for the battle we shall certainly have to fight
to fulfill our program and to give our country,
in the not too distant future, happier days and a morally healthy society.
But to achieve this we need constant prayer
to obtain from God that grace without which all our powers are useless.”

We pray:

Blessed Pier Giorgio, teach me true poverty of spirit.
Help me understand that God cares for me;
and that He asks me, in return, to care for others,
especially those in need.
Guide me to make choices in my life
which will show a preference for service of God and neighbor,
rather than accumulating financial wealth
and social advantage for myself.
Give me a special love for the poor and the sick.

Blessed Pier Giorgio,
I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God,
Who is the Lover of the poor,
all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare.
I confidently turn to you for help in my present need:

(Make your request here…).
