Prayer after Holy Communion by Padre Pio
“Stay, Lord, with me, because your presence is necessary so as not to forget you. You know how easily I abandon you.
Stay, Lord, with me, because I am weak and I need your strength not to fall many times.
Stay, Lord, with me, because you are my light and without you I am in darkness.
Stay, Lord, with me, because you are my life and without you I lose my fervor.
Stay, Lord, with me, to make your will known to me.
Stay, Lord, with me, so that I hear your voice and follow you.
Stay, Lord, with me, because I want to love you very much and always be in your company.
Stay, Lord, with me, if you want me to be faithful to you.
Stay, Lord, with me, because as poor as my soul is, it wants to be for you a place of comfort and a nest of love.
Stay, Jesus, with me, because it is late and the day is over… Life passes; death, judgment, eternity are approaching and it is necessary to recover my strength so as not to delay me on the road, and for that I need you. It is late and death is drawing near. I fear the darkness, the temptations, the aridity, the cross, the sufferings – and I need you very much, my Jesus, in this night of exile.
Stay, Jesus, with me, because in this night of life, of dangers, I need you. Make me, like your disciples, recognize you in the breaking of the bread; May Eucharistic communion be the light that dispels the darkness, the strength that sustains me and the only joy of my heart.
Stay, Lord, with me, because at the hour of death I want to be united with you; if not by communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay, Jesus, with me; I do not ask for divine consolations because I do not deserve them, but the gift of your presence, ah, yes, I ask you!
Stay, Lord, with me; I only look for you; your love, your grace, your will, your heart, your spirit, because I love you and I ask for no other reward but to love you more. With a firm, practical love, loving you wholeheartedly on earth to continue loving you perfectly for all eternity.”
Prayer of Padre Pio to Mary before Communion
“Oh Mother, put in me that love that burned in your heart for your Son. I, who am weak, admire the mystery of your Immaculate Conception.
I ardently desire it: purify my heart so that I can love God better;
purify my spirit so that I can rise to Him and contemplate Him, adore Him and serve Him in spirit and in truth; purify my heart so that it becomes a tabernacle less unworthy to receive him, when he comes to me in the Eucharist. So be it!”
