Prayer

Padre Pio was fully aware of his flaws. Often he would write to his spiritual adviser and others lamenting his lack of patience or acceptance of God’s will.

Each of us has a special role to play in the life of the Church. Our task is to prayerfully discern what that role is.

To this day, Padre Pio is venerated for his holiness, simplicity, and poverty—three characteristics we can all try to emulate.

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.
