During this season of Lent, we can draw strength from the example of Christ and Padre Pio who fought back against anxiety over what they were called to do.
Padre Pio is revered by many, but there were—and still are—people who doubted his experiences.
It must have been frightening for Padre Pio to experience some of the things that occurred to him. But he faced it all with unshakable faith.
We are flawed. We know that, Padre Pio knew that, Christ knows that. There is no getting around it. So there is no use throwing our hands up in the air over what we cannot do.
The reality for most people is a very different one from that of Padre Pio. He spent most of his life at the monastery where he prayed, heard confessions, and celebrated Mass.
Padre Pio had a remedy for that feeling of discouragement: Always turn to God.
