Thought and prayer of Padre Pio today 5th March

Pray calmly!

First of all, I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him for human impiety, and for this he leads you through the painful ways of which you keep my word in yours. But may his charity always be blessed, which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory penalties of life into an eternal reward.

Prayer

O Saint Pius, you who have given protection to the sick, oppressed, slandered, abandoned, as thousands of pilgrims in San Giovanni Rotondo and throughout the world testify, also intercede for us with the Lord to grant our wishes. Amen.

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