PRAYER OF PADRE PIO AFTER HOLY COMMUNION

Stay with me, Lord.
For it is necessary to have You present.
Stay with me, Lord.
So that I do not forget You.
Stay with me, Lord.
You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I am weak.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I need your strength.
Stay with me, Lord.
That I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord.
For you are my life.
Stay with me, Lord.
Without You, I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord.
For You are my light.
Stay with me, Lord.
For without you I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord.
So as to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord.
So that I hear Your voice.
Stay with me, Lord.
So as to follow You.
Stay with me, Lord.
For I desire to love You very much.
Stay with me, Lord.
So as to be always in your company.
Stay with me, Lord.
If You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord.
For as poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for You.
Stay with me, Lord.
So that my soul becomes a nest of love.
Stay with me, Lord.
Stay with me Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because life passes.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because death, judgement and eternity are sure to come.
Stay with me, Lord.
It is necessary to renew my strength.
Stay with me, Lord.
So that I may not stop along the way.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I need You.
Stay with me, Lord.
It is getting late and death approaches.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I fear the darkness.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I fear the temptations.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I fear the dryness.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I fear the cross.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I fear the sorrows.
Stay with me, Lord.
O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me, Lord.
I need You in my life with all its dangers.
Stay with me, Lord.
Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread.
Stay with me, Lord.
So that the Eucharistic Communion becomes the Light which disperses the darkness.
Stay with me, Lord.
So that the Eucharist becomes the force which sustains me.
Stay with me, Lord.
So that the Eucharist becomes the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You.
Stay with me, Lord.
I want to be united with You by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord.
I do not ask for divine consolation because I do not merit it.
Stay with me, Lord.
The gift of Your presence, O yes, I ask this of You!
Stay with me, Lord.
For it is You alone I look for.
Stay with me, Lord.
For it is Your Love I am longing for.
Stay with me, Lord.
For it is Your Grace I am longing for.
Stay with me, Lord.
For it is Your Will I am longing for.
Stay with me, Lord.
For it is Your Heart I am longing for.
Stay with me, Lord.
For it is Your Spirit I am longing for.
Stay with me, Lord.
Because I love You.
Stay with me, Lord.
I ask no other reward.
Stay with me, Lord.
So as to love You more and more.
Stay with me, Lord.
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.
