New request of Christ Jesus: Intercessory Novena of Padre Pio for all the Priests of the Entire World

The Divine Messengers have always emphasized the importance of our praying for the priests, for they are the bridge that unites Heaven with Earth. Their mission is to follow in the footsteps of the Great Priest of Love, Christ Jesus, emulating His example, propagating His teachings and awakening new apostles. For this reason, they were ordered by Our Lord to administer His Sacraments, one of the principal ways for souls to receive Divine Grace, experience redemption and awaken to the realization of their spiritual purpose.

In His message of January 21, 2020, Christ Jesus revealed that without priestly life, communication with the celestial worlds would not be possible. He announced:

“If there are no priests, there is no Mercy, nor Grace;
there is no true sacramental life in Christ....
For this reason, I ask you to wholeheartedly pray for the priests....”

The Virgin Mary also explained about the need for priesthood for the elevation and spiritual rehabilitation of humanity. In Her message of January 4, 2016, She affirmed that the young priests are the first expressions of the life of Christ; however, because of the challenges of the Armageddon, there is no more difficult era for the concretization of this blessed vocation. And so, Our Lady prayed: “let us petition for the priests because, through them, the steps toward Christ will be able to occur.”

With the intention of supporting this special cause, in His message of January 27, 2020, Christ Jesus transmitted a new spiritual practice: the intercessory Novena of Padre Pio for all the Priests of the Whole World. This Rosary invokes the sublime merits achieved by the holy Italian Priest, reflected in his five stigmata, to illuminate and protect those consecrated to the priestly ministry.
