The Cross will not crush you; if its weight makes you stagger, its power will also sustain you.
Pio of PietrelcinaYour temptations are from the devil and from Hell; but your sufferings and afflictions are from God and Heaven.
Pio of PietrelcinaIt is necessary to be strong, in order to become great: that is our duty. Life is a struggle, which we cannot avoid. We must triumph!
Pio of PietrelcinaThe greatest act of faith is that which rises to your lips in total darkness together with the sacrifices, sufferings and wholehearted efforts of a determined will to do good. This act of faith strikes through the darkness of your soul like lightening. In the midst of tempest it raises you up and leads you to God.
Pio of Pietrelcina
