Heavenly Father, You marked Saint Pius of Pietrelcina with the signs of Your Son’s Passion and used him to bring Your mercy to a hurting world.
Through his powerful intercession, grant us the grace to embrace our daily crosses with his same radical trust. Help us to find peace in Your presence, to seek Your forgiveness in the Confessional, and to see Christ in the suffering people around us.
When anxiety rises, remind us of his constant wisdom: to pray, hope, and not worry, resting completely in Your loving care. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
