Don't consider me too demanding if I ask you once again to set great store by holy books and read them as much as you can. This spiritual reading is as necessary to you as the air you breathe.
Pio of Pietrelcina

As gifts increase in you, let your humility grow, for you must consider that everything is given to you on loan.
Pio of Pietrelcina

Pio of Pietrelcina

Every Holy Mass, heard with devotion, produces in our souls marvelous effects, abundant spiritual and material graces which we, ourselves, do not know...It is easier for the earth to exist without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!
Pio of Pietrelcina
Be comforted with this divine thought that your spiritual and physical pains are the test of the Divine Will.
