Padre Pio says

 

As the years go by and eternity draws near, we must be twice as courageous and lift our spirit to God, serving Him with even greater diligence in everything that our Christian vocation and profession requires of us.

 

Only this can make us agreeable to God make us free to leave this great world that is not of God, free from all our enemies; only this can make us reach the port of eternal salvation.

 

Living these brief passing moments should matter little to the children of God, so long as they will live eternally with God in Glory

Consider that you are already on the way to Heaven.

You have already placed one foot there.

Provided it is a happy one for you, what does it matter if these passing moments are unhappy.

 

By justice, Jesus Christ once risen should have ascended at once to the glory of the right hand of the Father and yet we know very well that for 40 days He wanted to be seen as risen. And why? To affirm the good news of our Faith.

These 40 days before our ascent into Heaven will pass for us too. Perhaps they will not be days, but months and years.

 

But finally this life will come to an end and then we will be happy, if we have assured for ourselves a happy transit to eternity

.

Then our resurrection will be complete. There will be no more danger of loosing the Grace of God. There will no longer be any suffering, no more death, but instead everlasting life with our Saviour Jesus Christ in Heaven.

 

We must rise up and value every instant of time that passes and is in our power. We must not waste a single moment.

Patrick's Healing  Alison writes: San Giovanni Sept 2008

Patrick had taken his wet sandals off and was going down the marble stairs for a coffee when he slipped on a wet step.

As he crashed backwards onto the steps with his full weight onto his hip and cracking the back of his head I called out Oh no Help him! (to the angels) I shoved my knee into his side to stop his rolling down the stairs but he had banged his head on the wall, jarred his jaw, cut open the skin on his elbow and hurt his shoulders.

He saw a flash of light and felt sick and dizzy but was determined to stand up.

I walked him back to his room, cleaned his head which was now an angry dark purple, and ripped a shirt to make a bandage for his elbow. His jaw, shoulders and hip were too sore to touch. He would not go to hospital just wanted to lie down.

I went back to my room but before I went to sleep I asked Padre Pio that as we were in his earthly home to come and heal him.

The next morning Patrick woke up completely healed, he told me Padre had come to visit him during the night, laid hands on him and prayed "it was as if Jesus Hinself was there"

Kath's Healing Testimony

  Easter Sunday  24 04 11.

On 11th March 2010 I was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of breast cancer. it had already spread through the lymph nodes into my blood stream. I was told the outlook was not good. My GP gave me 6months to live. I had a masectomy and removal of 19 lymph nodes on 6th April 2010 . I was very ill with subsequent infections in and out of hospital.

I eventually had chemo and radiotherapy and was very close to death on three occasions. I was too ill to complete the chemotherapy.

Although I passed the 6months deadline I was very ill and resigned to the fact of leaving this earth. The deadline was moved to Christmas 2010.

I had all kinds of scans and my consultant told me on Dec 9th that the cancer had spread to 3 points of my spine, I had previously “seen” my neighbour, Patrick, and I asked to speak to him again before Christmas. (He came to see me the day before Christmas Eve, placed his hands on my back and prayed for healing.) I was at peace but worried  the cancer would reach my brain before death.

My grand-daughter, Katie, insisted on taking me to join them for Christmas in Peterborough . She had given birth to my great grandson, Alfie, in October. I truly did not think I would survive the journey, but I did. Walking was very painful, almost impossible at times.

The extended family has a tradition of canoeing down the river Nene on Boxing Day morning. It was arranged they would leave me at the finishing line and pick me up later. It was very cold, snow and ice, and the river froze. They all decided to walk the route beside the river and I didn’t want to wait at the end for them or be pushed in a wheel chair, the snow was too deep.I set off on the 2 mile walk and made it with no difficulty, Everyone was amazed. A MIRACLE!

I had pain in my back and was very tired but began to feel better and eat more, I felt so hungry for everything, like a great awakening.

I had another scan on 29th December 2010 . The consultant rang me to say, no sign of cancer in your body but had to have another to make sure. This came back as inconclusive, so I had another scan.

I last saw my consultant on 14th April 2011. Again results are inconclusive. At the time of writing I have another scan due and see the consultant again on 25th May.

Whatever happens now is OK. I have got to know my great-grandson. My Katie is a Godsend and I have beautiful loving friends. I have tidied my garden (not touched for a year) I work in Oxfam for a few hours each Saturday and try to be useful whereever I can Thank you God.

MAY 26TH 2011  TODAY I SAW MY CONSULTANT FOR FINAL RESULTS.

NO CANCER IN MY BODY  just suffering with pain in back due to breaks in spine. This caused by chemo treatment.

A Miracle! Thank you so much God and thank you Patrick.

Padre Pio says:

 

Holy Mass

Earth could exist more easily without the sun than without Holy Mass.

 

If we only knew how God regards this sacrifice, we would risk our lives to be present at a single Mass.

 

In your minds eye transport yourself to Calvary and meditate on the Victim who offers Himself to Divine Justice, paying the price of your redemption.

 

Confession

In our thoughts and in confession, we must not dwell on sins that were previously confessed  Because of our contrition, Jesus forgave them at the tribunal of penitence.

 

Let us  hasten confidently to the tribunal of penance where He awaits us at every instant with the anxiety of a father; and even though we are aware of our inability to repay Him, let us have no doubts about the solemn pardon pronounced over our errors.

 

Let us place a tombstone over them, just as the Lord has done.

 

The Rosary

Recite the Rosary and recite it frequently.

It costs so little and it is worth so much.

Always say your Rosary and say it well.

 

 Our Lady

 Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother.

Give yourself up into the arms of your Heavenly Mother. She will take good care of your soul.

May she obtain for us the desire to go to her immediately, let us always stay close to her.

My only regret is that I have no adequate means by which to thank the Blessed Virgin.

I am so safe and full of confidence in this Heavenly Mother that I wll never give in.

 

Prayer

Prayer is the oxygen of the soul.

Every day when your heart especially feels the lonliness of life, pray.
