I am a 65 year old disabled veteran and I have emphysema, which is getting worse by the day. I know it is my own fault for smoking to begin with, but I pray that you will help me to get better so I can help my wife with more of the work. She is already trying to take care of her mother and needs less time doing all the work she has to do. So, please help me by praying for me.
Thank You and God Bless

Padre Pio, Please bring Martha back to me. You know me and you know Martha. I am in desparation and can't breathe. You brought us together when I was about to give up on myself. We both love you and know that you helped make us the mature, respectful loving couple that we became. She has left me and has broken off all communication. She says that I do not make her happy. I hate myself for those words for she is the one thing that makes me happy and keeps me real. I have been down on my job and my situation for a while and it has brought her down as well. I did not see what I was doing. I let her fall through my fingers but for no other reason than my own carelessness. I am ready to Marry her and start a family with her. For the first time in my life I am certain that this is right because I want it without hesitation or any reservations. You know this to be true. Please help me make this right. Please bring her back in my life.

You Lord, You are my only Good! Dear St. Padre Pio, grant me the grace to place God above everything ellse and be fully dependedent upon Him always.
St. Padre Pio, I am eager to take away from your holy and exemplary life, something which I can remember in my daily life as a Christian. You taught us that complaining, grousing and defending ourseleves is not a path to holiness. Nor is the habit of finding fault with others. Give us the wonderful grace which you manifested throughout your life: the grace of patient endurance of all suffering, in the name of Jesus. Grant healing to all the sick and suffering. Amen

I will always honor your name and continue to the best of my ability not to lose faith in Jesus healing hands and your prayful intercession. Please pray for my family too to put up with me.....I like when you say pray hope and do not worry. I wil keep that in mind in my dark moments. Yours in prayer, Agostino. Thank you for being so devoted to Jesus, the Blessed Mother, the church and the people.
