A Note From
Rev. Joe Koyickal
St. Padre Pio’s beautiful prayer after receiving Communion
Last Tuesday was the Feast of St. Padre Pio who had a great love and devotion to the Eucharist. Below is the prayer he composed and prayed after receiving Holy communion.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak & I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, & without You, I am without meaning & hope. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, & without You, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I can hear Your voice & follow you. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You ever more, & to be always in Your company. Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be always faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I wish it to be a place of consolation for You, a dwelling of Your love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late; the days are coming to a close & life is passing. Death, judgement & eternity are drawing near. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way, for that I need You. It is getting late & death approaches. I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need you, my Jesus, in this night of exile! Stay with me, Jesus, because in the darkness of life, with all its dangers, I need You. Help me to recognize You as Your disciples did at the Breaking of the Bread, so that the Eucharist Communion be the light which disperses darkness, the power which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart. Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death I want to be one with You, & if not by Communion, at least by Your grace and love. Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolations because I do not deserve them, but I only ask for the gift of Your Presence. Oh yes! I ask this of You. Stay with me, Lord, for I seek You alone, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You & I ask for no other reward but to love You more & more, with a strong active love.
Grant that I may love You with all my heart while on earth, so that I can continue to love you perfectly throughout all eternity, dear Jesus. Amen!
Blessing of peach and Joy always!
Fr. Joe
