If 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 PietrelcinaThe most beautiful act of faith is the one made in darkness, in sacrificing, and with extreme effort.
Pio of PietrelcinaYour tears were collected by the angels and were placed in a golden chalice, and you will find them when you present yourself before God.
Pio of PietrelcinaSome people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.
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.
