ST. PADRE PIO ON SUFFERING

ST. PADRE PIO ON SUFFERING :

 1. "If you can talk with the Lord in prayer, talk to him, offer him your praise; if, due to great weariness, you cannot speak, do not find displeasure in the ways of the Lord. Stay in the room like servants of the court do, and make a gesture of reverence. He will see you, and your presence will be pleasing to him. He will bless your silence and at another time you will find consolation when he takes you by the hand."
 
2. "The more bitterness you experience, the more love you will receive."
 
3. "Jesus wants to fill your whole Heart."
 
4. "God wants his omnipotence to reside in your powerlessness."
 
5. "Faith is the torch that guides the steps of the spiritually desolate."
 
6. "In the uproar of the passions and of reverses of fortune, we are upheld by the comforting hope of God’s inexhaustible mercy."
 
7. "Put all your trust only in God."
 
8. "The best consolation is that which comes from prayer."
 
9. "Fear nothing. On the contrary, consider yourself very fortunate to have been made worthy to participate in the sufferings of the Man-God."
 
10. "God leaves you in that darkness for his glory; here is a great opportunity for your spiritual progress."
 
11. "The darkness that sometimes clouds the sky of your souls is light: by means of it, when it arrives, you believe you are in darkness and you have the impression that you are in the midst of a burning briar patch. It’s true that, when brambles burn, it gets smoky all around and the disoriented spirit is afraid of not seeing or understanding anything anymore. But then God speaks and makes himself present to the soul, that glimpses, understands, loves and trembles."
 
12. "My Jesus, love is what sustains me."
 
13. "Happiness is only found in heaven."
 
14. "When you feel despised, imitate the kingfisher, who builds its nest on the masts of ships. That is to say, raise yourself up above the earth, elevate yourselves with your mind and heart to God, who is the only one who can console you and give you strength to withstand the trial in a holy way."
 
15. "Be certain that the more the attacks of the devil increase, that much closer is God to your soul."
 
16. "Bless the Lord for your suffering and accept to drink the chalice of Gethsemane."
 
17. "Be capable of bearing bitter sufferings during your whole life so you can participate in the sufferings of Christ."
 
18. "Suffering born in a Christian way is the condition that God, the author of all grace and of all the gifts that lead to salvation, has established for granting us glory."
 
19. "Remember that we cannot triumph in battle if not through prayer; the choice is yours."
 
20. "Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is a key that opens God’s heart."

“So disfigured was He, that He was beyond human semblance.” (Isaiah 52:14) THE FIFTEEN SECRET TORTURES AND SUFFERINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST As revealed by Our Lord to Blessed Maria Maddalena Martinengo Jеsus rеlatеd: “Thе Jеws considеrеd Mе as thе most wrеtchеd man living on еarth, so that is why: Thеy fastеnеd My fееt with a ropе and draggеd Mе ovеr thе stеpping stonеs of thе staircasе, down into a filthy, nausеating cеllar. Thеy took off My clothing and stung My body with iron joints. Thеy attachеd a ropе around My body and pullеd Mе on thе ground from еnd to еnd. Thеy hangеd Mе on a woodеn piеcе with a slip knot until I slippеd out and fеll down. Ovеrwhеlmеd by this torturе, I wеpt bloody tеars. Thеy tiеd Mе to a post and piеrcеd My body with various arms. Thеy struck Mе with stonеs and burnt Mе with blazing еmbеrs and torchеs. Thеy piеrcеd Mе with awls; sharp spеars torе My skin, flеsh and artеriеs out of My body.

The Holy Mass with Padre Pio

Image
Padre Pio said:  "If people knew the value of the Mass, there would be policemen at the door, to regulate the access to the church, every time that a Mass is celebrated" . Being at five in the morning near the altar of Padre Pio was really a close encounter of the special kind with the supernatural. The Mass of Padre Pio was a spectacular mystical event, mixing the height of the human complete immolation to God, that we could see, with a mystical and physical renewal of the Passion of Christ from the Garden to the Golgota, that we couldn't see, but were able to feel.       The Mass with Padre Pio "It is easier for the earth to be without the sun than without the mass. " From his own handwriting to his spiritual directors and the spiritual daughter Cleonice Morcaldi, we know that Padre Pio experienced during Mass the Passion of Jesus,  including the Agony in the Garden with the sweat of blood, the scourging, the crowning of th...

Close encounters of a special kind with Padre Pio: The Souls in Purgatory, The Guardian Angel, the devil. Everybody who met Padre Pio seemed convinced that he had a direct connection with the afterlife, and asked about a dead relative or friend. It was fascinating there was always an answer. Gerardo De Caro had long conversations with Padre Pio in 1943. In his written notes he testifies:  "Padre Pio had an exact knowledge of the state of a soul after death, including the duration of the pain until reached total purification." “More souls of the dead from Purgatory than of the living climb this mountain   to attend my Masses and seek my prayers.” "The souls in Purgatory pray for us, and their prayers are even more effective than ours, because they are accompanied by their suffering. So, let's pray for them, and let's pray them to pray for us." "You will be surprised to find in Paradise souls you never expected to b...
