聖碧岳‧庇特來（司鐸）
碧岳神父，俗名方濟傅佐尼，1887年5月25日生於貝內文托教區的庇特來。1903年1月6日進入嘉布遣小兄弟會當修士，1910年8月10日在貝內文托主教座堂被祝聖為司鐸。1916年7月28日遷到加爾加諾的聖若望‧羅敦多。
1918年9月20日星期五早上，當他在老舊的小堂，對著詠經席的苦像祈禱時，得到印上五傷的恩典；這些傷口半個世紀之久，都會裂開並流血。
碧岳終其一生，專心執行司鐸職務，尤其專務聽告解，治癒罪人，他成立了多個「祈禱會」，開辦了一所現代化醫院，命名為「解除痛苦之家」。他稱自己是一位祈禱的小兄弟。
聖人於1968年9月23日去世。1999年5月2日，由教宗若望保祿二世宣布為真福，並於2002年6月16日，由同一位教宗宣布為聖人。
集禱經
全能永生的天主，你恩賜聖碧岳司鐸，參與你聖子十字架的奇妙見證，並藉著他的服務，繼續你慈悲的工作；求你幫助我們，藉著他的轉求，常與基督的苦難結合，終能歡欣地進入復活的光榮。因你的聖子、我們的主耶穌基督，他和你及聖神，是唯一天主，永生永王。亞孟。
Saint Pius of Pietrelcina, Priest
St. Pius (1887-1968), affectionately known as Padre Pio, joined the Capuchin Friars and was later ordained a priest. For fifty years he lived at the monastery of San Giovanni Rotundo, where his miraculous abilites as spiritual advisor, confessor, and intercessor attracted the attention of the world. His humility and constant devotion to the Eucharist caused him to remark often, “I only want to be a friar who prays.”
Padre Pio spent many hours every day hearing Confessions. The height of his apostolic commitment was the celebration of the Holy Mass. He described himself as “a poor brother who prays.” “Prayer is the greatest weapon we have,” he said. It is “a key to open the heart of God.”
Padre Pio died on September 23, 1968. He was beatified in 1999 and canonized in 2002 by Pope John Paul II.
Collect
Almighty ever-living God, who, by a singular grace,
gave the Priest Saint Pius a share in the Cross of your Son
and, by means of his ministry,
renewed the wonders of your mercy,
grant that through his intercession
we may be united constantly to the sufferings of Christ,
and so brought happily to the glory of the resurrection.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever. Amen.
