Padre Pio wants to tell you this today December 9th. Thought and prayer

Thank and gently kiss the hand of God that strikes you; it is always the hand of a father who strikes you because he loves you.

Prayer

O Saint Pius, who knew the suffering of the flesh, who worked tirelessly to help others endure the pain, ensure that we too, animated by your spirit, can face any adversity and learn to imitate your heroic virtues. Amen.

Our Father ... Ave Maria ... Glory to the Father ...
