He 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.
Pio of PietrelcinaLet us bind ourselves tightly to the Sorrowful Heart of our Heavenly Mother and reflect on it's boundless grief and how precious is our soul.
Pio of PietrelcinaIn books we seek God; in prayer we find him. Prayer is the key which opens God's heart.
Pio of PietrelcinaIt would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the Holy Mass.
Pio of PietrelcinaStop entertaining those vain fears. Remember it is not feeling which constitutes guilt but the consent to such feelings. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.
Pio of Pietrelcina
