Padre Pio

“The longer the trial to which God subjects you, the greater the goodness in comforting you during the time of the trial and in the exaltation after the combat.”

“Do you not see the Madonna always beside the tabernacle?”

“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”

“Have courage and do not fear the assaults of the Devil. Remember this forever; it is a healthy sign if the devil shouts and roars around your conscience, since this shows that he is not inside your will.”

“The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain”

“Joy, with peace, is the sister of charity. Serve the Lord with laughter. ”
