A Prayer to Mary to Crush the Serpent
A Prayer to Mary to Crush the Serpent is a powerful invocation written by Pope St. Pius X, calling on Our Lady, Immaculate in body and soul, to crush the head of the ancient serpent and protect her children from the snares of evil. More commonly known as the Prayer of St. Pius X to the Immaculate Virgin Mary, it is rooted in the promise of Genesis and asks for Mary’s intercession in guiding souls to the safety and peace of God’s Church.
Litany of St. Padre Pio
This Litany of St. Padre Pio is a prayer honoring St. Pio of Pietrelcina, the stigmatist priest of San Giovanni Rotondo. Known for his tireless ministry in the confessional, he also held deep devotion to Our Lady and the Holy Rosary, and cared for the sick and suffering through the hospital he founded. Composed by The Catholic Crusade, this litany draws on the true details of his life to offer praise and seek his intercession for those who turn to him in prayer.
CURRENT & UPCOMING NOVENAS
ST. MICHAEL’S LENT
St. Michael’s Lent is a 40 day period of prayer, fasting, and penance observed each year from August 15, the Feast of the Assumption, to September 29, the Feast of the Archangels.
This devotion traces back to St. Francis of Assisi, who kept it in honor of St. Michael, withdrawing to the mountain of La Verna to prepare himself through prayer and fasting. Near the end of that period, he received the stigmata, the wounds of Christ marked into his own body. Franciscans have carried on the tradition since, treating these weeks as a season of renewed prayer and penance, offered in thanksgiving for St. Michael’s protection and in preparation for the feasts of fall.
TOGETHER LET US PRAY
Psalm 91 is one of the most powerful prayers for divine protection, peace, comfort, and deliverance. Whether you are starting your morning, preparing for sleep, or seeking refuge in times of anxiety and trouble, let these words from Scripture surround you with God’s presence and peace.
