Submit Your Intentions: Two Holy Masses, 9/22-9/23
Dear Friend,
As we embark on Day
Two in our prayers to St. Padre Pio, let’s turn our focus to
overcoming the strife, stress and anxieties of this world. The result
will bring peace in our hearts for St. Padre Pio stated:
"Peace is simplicity of spirit,
serenity of mind, quietness of soul, and the bond of love. Peace is
the order, the harmony within us. It is the continuous contentment
that comes from the testimony of a clear conscience. It is the holy
joy of a heart in which God reigns. Peace is the road to perfection-or
rather, perfection is found in peace. The devil, who knows all of this
quite well, applies all his efforts to make us lose our
peace.”
Let us be on high alert against the
least sign of turmoil. As soon as we notice we have fallen into
discouragement, let us have recourse to God with filial confidence and
complete abandonment of ourselves to him.
Every instance of turmoil in us is
very displeasing to Jesus, because it is always connected to some
imperfection in us that has its origin in egotism or
self-love."
If you haven’t had a chance to submit
your intentions or would like to update them, for the Two Holy
Masses, from Sept. 22-23, please do so now.
Let us invoke St. Padre Pio, who
imitated Jesus Christ throughout his life.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
