Pio of PietrelcinaThe Lord is a Father, the most tender and best of fathers. He cannot fail to be moved when His children appeal to Him.
Pio of PietrelcinaThe harm that comes to souls from the lack of reading holy books makes me shudder... What power spiritual reading has to lead to a change of course, and to make even worldly people enter into the way of perfection.
Pio of PietrelcinaThe sacred gift of prayer is in the right hand of our Savior, and according to the measure that you empty yourself of yourself, that is of love of your senses and of your own will, and make progress in rooting yourself in holy humility, to that extent the Lord will speak to your heart.
Pio of Pietrelcina
