St. Pio of Pietrelcina: We Must Not Stop!

We must not stop doing good
even if it scandalizes the Pharisees.

St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

St. Pio of Pietrelcina: Be Cheerful!

Be cheerful! Jesus will take care of everything. Let us pay no attention to people who do not know what they are talking about. Let us trust in Jesus and our heavenly Mother, and everything will work out well.

St. Pio of Pietrelcina: Give the Lord Your Heart!

Remember the goodness of the Lord in his treatment of you up until now. He will continue his work of perfection to your benefit. He will continue to pour out abundantly on you not only the oil of his mercy to make you rejoice but also the oil of his power to make you strong to fight successfully. It is said that wrestlers rubbed oil on their limbs to make themselves more agile, more flexible, and sturdier.

Live at peace, because divine compassion is never lacking and certainly will not be lacking to you if you show yourself docile to his divine workings. Come now... do not be stingy with the heavenly physician. For love's sake, do not make him wait for you any longer. "Give me your heart" (Proverbs 23:26), he is saying to you. "Give me your heart, my daughter, so that I may pour out my oil on it."
