Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

St. Padre Pio’s Favored Prayer of Petition ⤵️

📅 June 12 is the Feast Day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

When someone asks us to pray for a specific intention, many of us turn to familiar prayers like the Rosary, an Our Father, or a simple plea to God. Padre Pio also had a prayer he regularly used when interceding for others.

Each day, Padre Pio received countless prayer requests in person and through letters, faithfully bringing these intentions before God. Many later testified to extraordinary graces received through his intercession.

The prayer he often prayed was not his own composition. It is traditionally attributed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who received revelations concerning devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is commonly known as the *Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus*.

Many are drawn to this novena because it entrusts our petitions to the merciful Heart of Christ while surrendering them to God's holy will. As Padre Pio understood, prayer is not a transaction or guarantee, but an act of faith and humility before a loving Father who answers according to what is best for our souls.

What follows is the traditional prayer used in this novena, prayed with trust in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and confidence in His mercy:

I.
O my Jesus, You have said:
“Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.”
Behold, I knock, I seek, and I ask for the grace of

(here mention your request)

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father…
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.

II.
O my Jesus, You have said:
“Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in My name, He will give it to you.”
Behold, in Your name, I ask the Father for the grace of

(here mention your request)

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father…
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.

III.
O my Jesus, You have said:
“Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
Encouraged by Your infallible words, I now ask for the grace of

(here mention your request)

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father…

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted,
have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of You,
through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your tender Mother and ours.

Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen…

St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us.

Amen

To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.

I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.

I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.

One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”

It knocked me back.

I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”

I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.

That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.

I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.

I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.

People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.

I'll tell you why.

Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.

I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.

In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.

The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.

You just have to stop running.

For all who are complaining about the @SpaceX valuation for its IPO, it’s a free market. Don’t buy it.

For those who believe in future and @elonmusk , it’s a free market, buy it.

📌 7 THINGS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES ABOUT HEAVEN THAT MOST CATHOLICS HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD

1. YOU WILL STILL BE YOU

The Church teaches that in heaven you retain your personal identity, your memories, your personality, your relationships. The resurrection of the body means YOU, not a generic soul mist, will be there. (CCC 1023)

2. YOU WILL KNOW AND BE KNOWN

The Beatific Vision is not the erasure of self, it is the perfection of it. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that in heaven we know God directly, face to face. And in knowing God, we know everything truly. Including those we love.

3. THERE ARE DEGREES OF GLORY

Not everyone experiences heaven identically. St. Paul writes: “Star differs from star in glory.” (1 Cor 15:41). How we loved, served, and suffered on earth shapes the depth of our eternal joy.

4. THE SAINTS IN HEAVEN ARE ACTIVE

They are not asleep. They intercede for us. They worship. They rejoice when sinners repent (Luke 15:7). Heaven is alive with communion and love in motion.

5. TIME AS WE KNOW IT ENDS

Heaven is not “a very long time.” It is outside of time altogether, eternal in the fullest sense. Every moment is the fullness of joy, complete and inexhaustible.

St. Augustine: “Our heart is restless until it rests in Thee.”

6. YOUR RESURRECTED BODY WILL BE GLORIFIED

Four gifts: impassibility (no suffering), subtlety (not bound by matter), agility (movement without limit), clarity (radiant with divine light).

This is not mythology. This is the Scholastic theology of resurrection.

7. HEAVEN IS RELATIONSHIP, NOT REWARD

The essence of heaven is not “getting something,” it is being in perfect, unobstructed union with God and with all those who love Him.

It is love without limits.

Joy without end.

Home without exile.

This is what you are living toward.

Never forget it.

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered the human heart what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

1 CORINTHIANS 2:9
