Always humble yourself lovingly before God and man, because God speaks to those who are truly humble of heart, and enriches them with His gifts. ~St. Padre Pio

Who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, to the voice of the royal prophet: “Today, if you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart.” Let us not put off from one moment to another (what we should do) because the (next moment) is not yet ours. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Prayer is the oxygen of the soul. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God’s heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Keep close to the Catholic Church at all times, for the Church alone can give you true peace, since she alone possesses Jesus, the true Prince of Peace, in the Blessed Sacrament. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Through the study of books one seeks God; by meditation one finds him. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Always humble yourself lovingly before God and man, because God speaks to those who are truly humble of heart, and enriches them with His gifts. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Faith guides even us and we follow its sure light on the way which conducts us to God and His homeland. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Every Holy Mass, heard with devotion, produces in our souls marvelous effects, abundant spiritual and material graces which we, ourselves, do not know…It is easier for the earth to exist without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass! ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

I want to be only a poor friar who prays – if God sees blemishes even in the angels, can you imagine what He sees in me! ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

In order to attract us, the Lord grants us many graces that we believe can easily obtain Heaven for us. We do not know, however, that in order to grow, we need hard bread: the cross, humiliation, trials and denials. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

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. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Love the Blessed Mother and make her loved. Always say the Rosary. ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Go to the Madonna. Love her! Always say the Rosary. Say it well. Say it as often as you can! Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying, it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains necessary graces! ~St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
