Thought and prayer of Padre Pio today 7 February 2019

If you can speak to the Lord in prayer, speak to him, praise him; if you cannot speak to be rough, do not be sorry, in the ways of the Lord, stop in your room like courtiers and reverence them. He who sees, will appreciate your presence, will encourage your silence, and in another time you will be consoled when he takes you by the hand.

O Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who nourished a great devotion to the Souls of Purgatory for which you offered yourself as an atoning victim, pray to the Lord that he will instill in us the feelings of compassion and love that you had for these souls, so that we too are able to reduce their times of exile, making sure to earn for them, with sacrifices and prayers, the holy indulgences they need.

“O Lord, I beg you to want to pour over me the punishments which are prepared for sinners and purging souls; multiply them above me, as long as you convert and save sinners and free the souls of purgatory soon ». Father Pio
