On the feast of St. Padre Pio, I thought I'd post a few quotes from this great saint that I particularly like.
"Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer."
"The longer the trial to which God subjects you, the greater the goodness in comforting you during the time of the trial and in the exaltation after the combat. "
"Keep close to the Catholic Church at all times, for the Church alone can give you true peace, since she alone possesses Jesus, the true Prince of Peace, in the Blessed Sacrament."
"The proof of love is to suffer for the one you love"
"You must speak to Jesus also with the heart, besides with the lips; indeed, in certain cases you must speak to Him only with the heart. "
"At times Our Lord makes you feel the burden of the Cross. This burden seems intolerable to you. But as for you, carry it because the Lord extends His hand and gives you strength."
"The time spent for the glory of God and the salvation of souls is never spent badly."
"Walk in the way of the Lord with simplicity and do not torment your spirit. You must hate your defects, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless."
