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 PietrelcinaBe comforted with this divine thought that your spiritual and physical pains are the test of the Divine Will.
Pio of PietrelcinaThe Mother of Sorrows is my confidante, my teacher, my counselor, and my powerful advocate.
Pio of PietrelcinaWe must know how to confide. There is the fear of God and the fear of a Judas. Too much fear makes one labour without love, and too much confidence prevents from considering the danger which we must overcome.
Pio of PietrelcinaI feel a great desire to abandon myself with greater trust to the Divine Mercy and to place my hope in God alone.
