St. Piatrelcina (Padre Pio)
Proverbs 21:1-6,10-13. Luke 8:19-21. (Mt. 5:8. 16:24. Psalm 17:15)

‘Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God’ ; their faithfulness in Love shall be their shield and buckler in and through the Father’s will and loving purpose, and ‘when they wake up in the image of the Son of Man they will be satisfied.’

‘Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me and you will find rest for your soul, for my yoke is easy and My burden light’. ‘Take up your cross and follow Me’, the Father’s Word Incarnate and His Incarnate Son. My brothers and My sisters are those who hear the word of God and do it in and through the grace and power of Our redeeming, sanctifying. love.

‘The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain’.
(Saying of Padre Pio).
