COMMUNION PRAYER OF PADRE PIO
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 alway be in
Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You. Stay with
me, Lord, 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 and eternity approaches. It
is necessary to
renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for
that, I need You. It is getting late and 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 tonight, Jesus, in life with all
its 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, 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.
