Lent with Padre Pio: Fifth Thursday
We have all had moments in our lives when we feel as if God doesn’t see or hear us. Padre Pio was certainly no different.

We have all had moments in our lives when we feel as if God doesn’t see or hear us. Padre Pio was certainly no different.

Padre Pio underwent a lot of scrutiny during his life. But while he admitted despairing, he offered up the suffering because he knew it was God’s will.

God is the conductor of our orchestra and the many saints and holy people we encounter along the way serve as our instructors.

We cannot preach in the same way as Padre Pio did. But we can spread that same message through our own lives. In that sense, we are all preachers.

Toward the end of his life and after his death, Padre Pio has become a popular saint among Catholics.

“A seed has been sown in the ground which the Lord God shall warm with the rays of His love.”
—Padre Pio at the opening of the House for the Relief of the Suffering

Padre Pio had a rather structured prayer life. In addition to some of the things he is more well known for, he was also a treasured spiritual adviser to many.
