The Hidden Room

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Merciful God, you called St. Pio of Pietrelcina to serve Christ as a Capuchin priest and to spend himself for souls. Through his intercession, draw me closer to the Eucharist, reconciliation, and faithful prayer. Give me patience in suffering, compassion for the sick, and confidence in your grace. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let us pause in silence, and bring to mind the intention you are praying for.

In the app, your own saved intention rests here during the silence. The narration stays the same for everyone.

But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Padre Pio's public ministry was sustained by long hours turned toward God. Hidden prayer is not an escape from the world; it is where the heart is made ready to serve it without seeking applause. The Father sees every quiet return, even when prayer feels dry or distracted.

Father, draw me into the hidden place where I can be honest before you. Gather my distracted thoughts and teach me to remain, even when I feel nothing. Through St. Pio's intercession, let secret prayer become the steady root of my outward life. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

St. Pio of Pietrelcina, faithful priest and compassionate intercessor, present my intention to Jesus. Help me return often to God's mercy, remain close to Christ in the Eucharist, and carry suffering without losing love. Pray that I may serve the wounded with patience and persevere in hope until the end. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
