Padre Pio wants to tell you this today March 11th. Thought and prayer

I would prefer a thousand crosses, indeed each cross would be sweet and light to me, if I did not have this proof, that is, to always feel in the uncertainty of pleasing the Lord in my operations ... It is painful to live like this ...
I resign myself, but resignation, my fiat seems so cold, vain! ... What a mystery! Jesus must think about it alone.

O Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who nourished a great devotion to the Souls of Purgatory for which you offered yourself as an atoning victim, pray to the Lord that he will instill in us the feelings of compassion and love that you had for these souls, so that we too are able to reduce their times of exile, making sure to earn for them, with sacrifices and prayers, the holy indulgences they need.

“O Lord, I beg you to want to pour over me the punishments which are prepared for sinners and purging souls; multiply them above me, as long as you convert and save sinners and free the souls of purgatory soon ». Father Pio
