The longer the trial to which God subjects you, the greater the goodness in comforting you during the time of trial and in the exaltation after the combat.
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 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
