Notte dello spirito

– Notte dello spirito -

Dagli scritti di Padre Pio:

Padre mio, con animo straziante mi sottopongo a vivere la vita, e solo per non disgustare Gesù… Ma perché poi non mi è dato di amarlo con sincerità e serenità di spirito? Mi sento solo, ed un gran vuoto che mi spaventa si va sempre facendo nell’animo mio. Questo povero cuore è irrequieto e non so dove posarlo. Lo poso in Gesù, e non è sazio ancora. Che disgrazia l’è mai questa? O se potessi amare Gesù, quanto sarei felice! Ma questo conforto pure mi è tolto, ed io non ne trovo la via per andare a lui. (Padre Pio a padre Agostino, San Giovanni Rotondo, 19 novembre 1916,Ep.I, p.841) Leggi tutto »

Jesus Eucharist – 12/01/’10

eucarestia – Jesus Eucharist -

From Padre Pio writings:

When Mass was over I remained with Jesus in thanksgiving. Oh, how sweet was the colloquy with paradise this morning! It was such that, although I want to tell you all about it, I cannot. There were things which cannot be translated into human language without losing their deep and heavenly meaning. The heart of Jesus and my own – allow me to use the expression – were fused. No longer were two hearts beating but only one. My own heart had disappeared, as a drop of water is lost in the ocean. Jesus was its paradise, its king. My joy was so intense and deep that I could bear no nore and tears of happiness poured down my cheeks … Praise be to the divine Prisoner! ( Letters I, 308) Leggi tutto »

Have a good day – 22/10/’09

Proverbs praises the strong woman:”She puts her hands to the distaff”, we are told, and I willingly say a few words to you on this matter: Your distaff is the accumulation of your desires. Therefore spin a little every day, thread by thread weave your design until it is finished and you will infallibly succeed. But be careful not to hurry, because you will tangle the thread with knots and confuse the spindle. Therefore, advance always, and even if you progress at a slow pace, you will still travel far.

( Letters III,p.568)
