The mystic knows in a uniquely graced way these mysteries that we believe and live out as we try to be true to the mystery of our baptism.

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.

Arrogance and self-promotion are very human, which means we all have fallen into those traps. But humility is the path we should be on.

Have you ever been surrounded by a whirlwind of activity, perhaps in the midst of family and friends, and felt a sudden whoosh of deep contentment?

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.

What would it look like to consider resting in your inherent union with the divine in the unknown, in the proverbial desert, and in the tension?

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

Both Christ and St. Francis show us that they suffered what we suffered, but they suffered in love, and that makes all the difference.
