Padre Pio wants to tell you this today January 3th. Thought and prayer

Those who have time don't wait for time. We do not put off until tomorrow what we can do today. Of the good of then the pits are thrown back…; and then who says to us that tomorrow we will live? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, the voice of the real prophet: "Today if you will hear the voice of the Lord, do not want to block your ear". We rise and treasure, because only the instant that runs away is in our domain. Let's not put time between instant and instant.

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.
