Find what you’re looking for
Who hasn’t felt as if they are on the outside looking in? Who among us hasn’t felt dejected or neglected? May this prayer be your reminder today that you are loved no matter how far you’ve strayed.
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.
For St. Francis, this search for himself began and ended by asking the only one whose opinion mattered: Jesus.
Regardless of the details, the habit of keeping a gratitude journal makes us more alert and sensitive. The more we seek things and people to record, the more grateful we become.
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.
Being his disciple means transforming every aspect of our lives so that nothing, not even the smallest part of who we are, is out of touch with the mission of Christ.
We live in very divided times. Sometimes it seems as if there is nothing people can discuss without becoming defensive, angry, or hurt.
Padre Pio had a remedy for that feeling of discouragement: Always turn to God.
Marian apparitions bring us so much guidance, beauty, and sustenance. The apparition of Our Lady of Knock, Ireland, is the only apparition where not a word was spoken by the Blessed Mother.
Will we see our pets and other creatures in the next life? Only God can answer a question like this.
