Oh God!, let yourself always be felt, more and more, by my poor heart, and accomplish in me the work you have begun. I hear an interior voice which assiduously says to me: Sanctify yourself and others. Well, my dearest, I want to do this, but I don't know where to begin. Help me, you also. I know that Jesus is very fond of you, and you deserve this. Therefore, speak to Him for me, that He might grant me the grace of making me a less unworthy son of Saint Francis, so that I can be an example to my confrères, in order that fervour might continue to grow more and more within me, making me a perfect Capuchin. Padre Pio

Kindly overlook our sins, Lord, for you are the source of forgiveness. Amen

Lord, look kindly on those who have dedicated themselves to the service of their fellow men, may they fulfill their work freely and completely. Amen
