I want to be only a poor friar who prays - if God sees blemishes even in the angels, can you imagine what He sees in me!
Pio of PietrelcinaAlways humble yourself lovingly before God and man, because God speaks to those who are truly humble of heart, and enriches them with His gifts.
Pio of PietrelcinaHe who does not meditate acts as one who never looks into the mirror and so does not bother to put himself in order, since he can be dirty without knowing it. The person who meditates and turns his thoughts to God who is the mirror of the soul, seeks to know his defects and tries to correct them, moderates himself in his impulses and puts his conscience in order.
