St. Padre Pio - 1887-1968
Psalm 100:1-5. Luke 10:21-24

‘Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before Him, His glory proclaim; with gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, kneel and adore Him, ‘The Lord’ is His Name.’ (Psalm 96:9).

Respond to the Father’s love for you, receive His holy Word and seek obedience to the Father’s will for you through Love’s indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.

The Father’s Kingdom of Eternal Life and Light and Love is offered to very one of His beloved sons and daughters: seek and you will find (Jeremiah 29:13, Luke11:9). Holiness is given as it is sought and becomes power in all receiving it to know and understand increasingly the meaning of eternal life and witness to Lord their God through their faithfulness and obedience - according to their heavenly Father’s will and loving purpose.

Words of Padre Pio:
‘Pray, hope, and don’t worry’
‘My past to your mercy, Lord, My present to your Love, my future to your providence’.
