Padre Pio wants to tell you this today March 26th. Thought and prayer

Jesus, Mary, Joseph.

Life is a Calvary; but it is better to go up happily. The crosses are the jewels of the Bridegroom and I am jealous of them. My sufferings are pleasant. I suffer only when I don't suffer.

O Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who have loved your spiritual children so much, many of whom he has won for Christ at the price of your blood, also grant us, who we have not known you personally, to consider us your spiritual children so that with your father protection, with your holy guide and with the strength that you will obtain for us from the Lord, we will be able, at the point of death, to meet you at the gates of Paradise awaiting our arrival.

«If it were possible, I would like to obtain from the Lord, one thing only: I would like if he said to me:« Go to Heaven », I would like to obtain this grace:« Lord, do not let me go to Heaven until the last of my children, the last of the people entrusted to my priestly care did not enter before me ».
