A Model of Gratitude
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.
Padre Pio reminds us that if we walk with God there is no reason to worry about every step. God wants us to keep looking toward the ultimate destination.
Peter believed in Jesus’ forgiveness and love. Ask God to forgive you for yesterday’s sins—and forgive yourself as well.
Padre Pio suffered from poor health his entire life, beginning around the age of 9. In his later life, after his ordination to the priesthood, he was separated from his religious community for almost five years because of his health.
Each and every one of us has been created differently, for God’s own glory, and we each have our own path to follow.
