Saintly Quote - Padre Pio

Young Padre Pio
You will never complain about offenses, no matter where they come from, remembering that Jesus was saturated with ignominy from the malice of men He Himself had aided.

You will excuse everyone with Christian charity, keeping before your eyes the example of the Divine Master who excused even His crucifiers before the Father.
St. Padre Pio

Great picture with St. Pio and the lamb.

It reminds me of the scripture verse saying,

Isa.53 [7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth

Thank you Esther,

JMJ

Thank you Esther
Lets all of us ask Saint Padre Pio to adopt us as his spiritual children.
