Don't try, excessively, to heal your heart, as your efforts would only make it more infirm. Don't make too great an effort to overcome your temptations, as this violence would only make them stronger. Despise them and don't dwell on them too much. (Padre Pio; Letters III, p. 509)

May God be pleased to see that these poor creatures truly repent and retum to Him. One must truly be a mother towards all those people and have great care for them, because Jesus tells us that there is more festivity in Heaven for the sinner who repents than for the perseverance of ninety nine just people. These words of the Redeemer are truly comforting to many souls who unfortunately sin, and who then want to repent and return to Jesus. (Padre Pio; Letters III, p. 1095)

There is one thing I absolutely cannot stand and it is this: if I have to rebuke someone, I am always ready; but I cannot bear to see someone else do it. To see someone humiliated or mortified like this is unbearable for me. (Padre Pio; Have a good day, 24th September)

Life is nothing but a continual struggle against oneself, and it does not open to beauty without the price of suffering. Always keep Jesus company in Gethsemane and He will know how to comfort you in the hours of anguish that will come. (Padre Pio; Have a good day, 23th September)

I belong entirely to everyone. Everyone can say: "Padre Pio is mine. " I deeply love my brothers in exile. I love my spiritual children as much as my own soul and even more. I have regenerated them to Jesus through suffering and love. I can forget myself but not my spiritual children, indeed I can assure you that when the Lord calls me I will say to Him: "Lord, I will remain at the gates of Paradise; I will go in when I have seen the last of my children enter. " I suffer so much because I cannot win all my brothers for God. At times I am on the point of dying of heartache on seeing so many suffering souls without being able to relieve them and so many brothers allied to Satan. (Padre Pio; Have a good day, 22th September)

All of us are not called by God to save souls and propagate his glory by the noble apostolate of preaching. . . but one can promote God's glory and work for the salvation of souls by means of a truly Christian life, by praying without ceasing that "his Kingdom come. . .

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

If God does not offer you sweetness, then you must still be content, patiently eating your bread, even if it is dry, doing your duty without any compensation, for the present. By doing this our love for God is selfless, and one loves and serves God in this way at one's own expense, a behaviour that pertains to perfect souls. (Padre Pio; Letters III, p. 288)
