Light a candle
No matter where you are, you can offer a prayer candle to Padre Pio.
“Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God’s heart.” To Padre Pio, prayer was a sacred, powerful, and healing practice. Today, thousands of people pray for Padre Pio’s intercession in their intentions and travel to the National Centre for Padre Pio to light their own prayer candles.
Your intention will be printed, prayed over by a priest, and placed with a first-class relic of
Padre Pio.
Padre Pio recited this novena every day for all those who requested his prayers.
