Devotion to the Saints: the thought of Padre Pio today 16 September

11. May the Heart of Jesus be the center of all your inspirations.

12. Jesus be always, and in all, your escort, support and life!

13. With this (the crown of the Rosary) the battles are won.

14. Even if you had committed all the sins of this world, Jesus repeats you: many sins are forgiven because you have loved much.

15. In the turmoil of passions and adverse events, the dear hope of his inexhaustible mercy sustains us. We run confidently to the tribunal of penance, where he anxiously awaits us at all times; and, while aware of our insolvency before him, we do not doubt the solemn forgiveness pronounced on our errors. We place on them, as the Lord has placed it, a sepulchral stone.

16. The heart of our divine Master has no more lovable law than that of sweetness, humility and charity.

17. My Jesus, my sweetness ... and how can I live without you? Always come, my Jesus, come, you have only my heart.

18. My children, it is never too much to prepare for holy communion.

19. «Father, I feel unworthy of holy communion. I am unworthy of it! ».
Answer: «It is true, we are not worthy of such a gift; but it is another to approach unworthily with mortal sin, another is not to be worthy. We are all unworthy; but it is he who invites us, it is he who wants it. Let us humble ourselves and receive it with all our hearts full of love ».

20. "Father, why do you weep when you receive Jesus in holy communion?". Answer: "If the Church emits the cry:" You did not disdain the Virgin's womb ", speaking of the incarnation of the Word in the womb of the Immaculate Conception, what will not be said of us miserable ?! But Jesus said to us: "Whoever does not eat my flesh and drink my blood will not have eternal life"; and then approach the holy communion with so much love and fear. The whole day is preparation and thanksgiving for holy communion. "

21. If you are not allowed to be able to stay in prayer, readings, etc. for a long time, then you must not be discouraged. As long as you have Jesus sacrament every morning, you must consider yourself very lucky.
During the day, when you are not allowed to do anything else, call Jesus, even in the midst of all your occupations, with a resigned groan of the soul and he will always come and remain united with the soul through his grace and his holy love.
