Who is Padre Pio? Padre Pio is a saint whose life was full of suffering, mystery, and miracles. He was an Italian priest, monk, and mystic who bore the wounds of Christ for 50 years of his life. Although there are a number of saints who were blessed with this cross, Padre Pio is the only priest to have had the stigmata. He is attributed with many miracles such as bi-location, knowing ones conscience during confession, levitation, and healings. This is just the tip of the iceberg with this great saint and there is so much more to share. But for now, here are my favorite Top 5 Padre Pio Quotes:
1.) "Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer."
2.) "The most beautiful act of faith is the one made in darkness, in sacrifice, and with extreme effort."
3.) "You must have boundless faith in the divine goodness, for the victory is absolutely certain."
4.) "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."
5.) "Do the penance of remembering, with sorrow, the offenses committed against God; the penance of being constantly good; the penance of combating your faults."
I hope the words of this great saint draw you closer to Our Lord and serve as inspiration to fight the good fight and strive daily to be perfect, as our heavenly Father is perfect. May God bless you.
