IN UNION WITH DIVINE LOVE Day 91

Message from Padre Pio
It is up to us to defend the honor of this meek Lamb who is always concerned when the case of souls is in question, but always silent where his own case is concerned.

Reflection
Have I, at least on one occasion, defended the teachings of Christ and the Church?

Scriptural Reading
2 Timothy 4:3-8
For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance.

Prayer
Great Holy Spirit, you strengthened me in the sacrament of Confirmation. Fortify me now in my resolve to be, until my death, a warrior of the faith. Amen.
