| 7 Your judgement will be mistaken if you have a one-sided view of things. | 8 It is enough for you to be united to God with your will. | 9 Complaining is a voluntary vice that kills charity. | 10 Padre Pio's Ordination 1910 Let us expect every good from heaven. | 11 Human beings turn their backs. God never does. | 12 Go to the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and open your heart to Him. | 13 Any goods we have, we have received from God. | ||
| 14 Get rid of bitterness and let gentleness enter your heart. | 15 Assumption BVM Discouragement belongs to the children of this world. | 16 Our passions increase as our love for the world increases. | 17 Souls are saved above all through prayer. | 18 Make an examination of your conscience every evening. | 19 Sorrow for ours sins is the penance that pleases God the most. | 20 A well-lived life leads to eternal life. | ||
| 21 Let us pray to the Lord that His kingdom will come. | 22 Satan is always trying to upset things. | 23 Unite your heart with the Heart of Jesus. | 24 A sure sign of your love is how much you are willing to suffer for the One you love. | 25 Try to appreciate the value of good holy reading. | 26 May Jesus immerse you in the splendor of His immortal youthfulness. | 27 Be careful not to will what God does not will. | ||
| 28 Don't ever sit down at table without thanking God for His blessings. | 29 Consider yourself as you are: nothing, miserable, perverse. | 30 Humility is the recognition of our nothingness. | 31 Let us detach ourselves from this world filled with lies. | |||||
Peace Prayer:Lord, make me a channel of your peace; where there is hatred let me bring your love, where there is injury, your pardon, where there is doubt, true faith in you; where there is despair in life let me bring hope, where there is darkness, only light, and where there is sadness, ever joy; O Master grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand, to be loved, as to love with all my soul! For it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, in giving of ourselves that we receive, and in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Wednesday:
Death, judgement and eternity are drawing near. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way, for that I need You. It is getting late and death approaches. I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need you, my Jesus, in this night of exile! Thursday:
Help me to recognize You as Your disciples did at the Breaking of the Bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the light which disperses darkness, the power which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart. Friday:
Saturday:
Grant that I may love You with all my heart while on earth, so that I can continue to love you perfectly throughout all eternity, dear Jesus. (Every day recite the following prayer) Saint Pio of Pietrelcina You were generously endowed by God, the Giver of all good gifts, with the gifts of the Spirit, signing your body as a living witness to the saving Passion and Death of Jesus, His Son. Many looked upon the reflection of the Crucified Jesus in your body and experienced anew God’s saving mercy. Through your ministry, God reconciled penitents to Himself and invited them to taste His sweetness in the Holy Eucharist. Through your powerful intercession before God, pray for us, that we may follow your example of prayer and penance and come to follow more closely our Risen Lord, so that one day we may rejoice with you in that kingdom where God calls all His faithful children to live in the light of His love and eternal peace. Pray for us Saint Pio of Pietrelcina. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray God of mercy and love, you called St. Pio of Pietrelcina to extend the mystery of the cross visibly into the lives of sinners and sufferers, that they might be converted to believe in the Gospel. Through his intercession, strengthen all believers in the willingness to take up the cross daily and follow Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen. |
