Morning Prayer - FRIDAY, 23 Sept 2022

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - September 23, 2022 | Memorial of St. Pius of Pietrelcina, Priest

"Your priests, O Lord, shall be clothed with justice; your holy ones shall ring out their joy." - Ps 132 (131):9

More popularly known as Padre Pio, St. Pius, was born in 1887 in the small Italian village of Pietrelcina. He joined the Capuchin Friars at the age of sixteen and was ordained a priest seven years later. For fifty years at the monastery of San Giovanni Rotundo he was a much sought after spiritual advisor, confessor, and intercessor whose life was devoted to the Eucharist and prayer. Yet despite such notoriety, he would often say, "I only want to be a poor friar who prays."

St. Padre Pio, pray for us!
