“Jesus is with you even when you don’t feel His presence. He is never so close to you as He is during your spiritual battles. He is always there, close to you, encouraging you to fight your battles courageously. He is there to ward off the enemy’s blows so that you may not be hurt.”
-St. Padre Pio
If the people of the World could only see
the beauty of ones soul when it is in the grace
of God, all sinners and unbelievers of this world
would be instantly converted.
St. Padre Pio
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Do not worry over things that generate preoccupation, derangement and anxiety. One thing only is necessary: to lift up your spirit and love God.
– St. Padre Pio
“God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”
“Give to God the remaining years of your life. Beg God to use them in the kind of life that is pleasing to Him.”
St. Padre Pio
Don’t consider me too demanding if I ask you once again to set great store by holy books and read them as much as you can. This spiritual reading is as necessary to you as the air you breathe.
St. Padre Pio
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company.
St. Padre Pio
We must always have courage, and if some spiritual languor comes upon us, let us run to the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and let us place ourselves in the midst of the heavenly perfumes, and we will undoubtedly regain our strength.
St. Padre Pio
