Devotion to the Saints: the thought of Padre Pio today 14 October

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.
Fly with the spirit before the tabernacle, when you cannot go there with your body, and there you release your ardent desires and speak and pray and embrace the Beloved of souls better than if it were given to you to receive it sacramentally.

22. Jesus alone can understand what pain it is for me when the painful scene of Calvary is prepared before me. It is equally incomprehensible that relief is given to Jesus not only by pitying him in his pains, but when he finds a soul who for his sake asks him not for consolation, but to be made a participant in his own pains.

23. Never get used to Mass.

24. Every holy mass, well listened to and with devotion, produces in our soul wonderful effects, abundant spiritual and material graces, which we ourselves do not know. For this purpose do not spend your money unnecessarily, sacrifice it and come up to listen to the Holy Mass.
The world could also be sunless, but it cannot be without Holy Mass.

25. On Sunday, Mass and Rosary!
