Stay With Me, Lord
Prayer of St. Pio of Pietrelcina
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak
and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,
and without You, I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,
and without You, I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice
and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You
very much, and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is,
I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes;
death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength,
so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You.
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it’s dangers. I need You.
Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread,
so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness,
the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You,
if not by communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it,
but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.
With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth
and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen
When a married couple recently asked Pope Leo XIV for advice on praying together, the Holy Father pointed to the example of his own parents.
“My parents prayed the Rosary together their whole lives every day,” he said. “I found that I was always blessed by their love for one another and their faith in God. It’s a wonderful thing.”
That simple, faithful habit of praying the Rosary as a couple formed the foundation of the home in which the future pope was raised. Their daily devotion not only strengthened their own marriage but also became a quiet source of blessing for their children.
Pope Leo’s words echo the witness of other holy couples throughout the Church’s history who made shared prayer a priority.
In an age when marriage faces many pressures, the example of his parents remains a gentle reminder that the Rosary, prayed consistently together, can become a powerful source of unity, peace, and grace within the home.
Si tienes los TRIGLICÉRIDOS altos, el pan integral te está haciendo más daño que un plato de chicharrón.
Te dijeron que dejaras la grasa, no mas huevo no mas chicharrón. Que tomaras Leche descremada, pan integral y jugo natural… pero tus triglicéridos siguen igual.
¿Sabes por qué? Porque los triglicéridos casi nunca vienen de la grasa que comes. Los fabrica tu hígado con azúcar.
Para apagar esa fábrica:
Uno, cero azúcar líquido, y eso incluye el jugo natural.
Dos, menos harinas, no menos grasa.
Tres, un mes sin alcohol.
Y cuatro, el que nadie hace: muévete todos los días. Una sola caminata baja los triglicéridos 25% al día siguiente, pero el efecto dura un día o dos.
