Padre Pio wants to tell you this today November 28th. Thought and prayer

Ah! That it is a great grace, my good daughter, to begin to serve this good God while the flourishing of age makes us susceptible to any impression! Oh !, how the gift is appreciated, when the flowers are offered with the first fruits of the tree.
And what could ever keep you from making a total offer of yourself to the good God by deciding once and for all to kick the world, the devil and the flesh, what our godparents did so resolutely for us baptism? Doesn't the Lord deserve this sacrifice from you?

PRAYER IN SAN PIO

(by Mons. Angelo Comastri)

Padre Pio, you lived in the century of pride and you were humble.

Padre Pio you passed among us in the era of wealth

dream, play and worship: and you have remained poor.

Padre Pio, nobody heard the voice beside you: and you spoke with God;

near you nobody saw the light: and you saw God.

Padre Pio, while we were panting,

you remained on your knees and you saw the Love of God nailed to a wood,

wounded in the hands, feet and heart: forever!

Padre Pio, help us cry before the cross,

help us believe before the Love,

help us to hear Mass as God's cry,

help us to seek forgiveness as an embrace of peace,

help us to be Christians with wounds

who shed blood of faithful and silent charity:

like the wounds of God! Amen.
