St Pio and His Spiritual Children.

May we always remember and take comfort in this promise from Padre Pio. When Padre Pio spoke of his devotion to his spiritual children, he said that he keeps the souls entrusted to him on his shoulder, and never forsakes them. It is believed that Padre Pio during his life on earth, offered up the slicing pain of his shoulder aches for his spiritual children.

Padre Pio never neglects anyone who has prayed to him. Just because it had slipped our mind to pray to him - it didn't mean that Padre Pio would cease to intercede for us. Padre Pio puts his spiritual children on his shoulder – the very place where he felt the most agony. This shows the love and importance Padre Pio gives his spiritual children, he would offer up his greatest physical trial for the souls that are his children in spirit.

Words from a Saint

We must rise up and value every instant of time that passes and is in our power. We must not waste a single moment. By divine grace we find ourselves at the beginning of a new year.  St. Padre Pio

Inspirational Words from Woodrow Wilson

"We grow great dreams. All big men are dreamers.  They see things in the soft haze of the spring day or in the red fire of the long winter's evening.  Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light, which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."
