Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly.
Pio of PietrelcinaIf the soul would know the merit which one acquires in temptations suffered in patience and conquered, it would be tempted to say: "Lord, send me temptations."
Pio of PietrelcinaIt would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the Holy Mass.
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.
