Message from Padre Pio
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.
Reflection
Do I ask God for what I deserve or do I ask God for what he desires for me and for the common good?
Scriptural Reading
1 Peter 4:13-14
But rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice exultantly. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
Prayer
Dearest Father, I willingly drink of the cup of fears than of the wineglass of merriment, for I now understand that the world can only be a better place if each would forego of their own comfort for the happiness of others. Amen.

Day 73
Message from Padre Pio
...don't permit any of them to be lost, deserting the nest.
Reflection
What do I do with stubborn souls?
Scriptural Reading
Matthew 18:15-16
If your brother sins [against you], go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that "every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses."
Prayer
Great Shepherd of souls, like you, may I face the greatest of hardships to save even one lost soul, than to be content with the obedience of ninety-nine others. Amen.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
PANALANGIN PARA SA MGA PARI
 |
| St. John Mary Vianney, patron saint for priests. |
O Jesus
I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests;
for Your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for Your priests laboring at home or abroad
in distant mission fields;
for Your tempted priests;
for Your lonely and desolate priest;
for Your young priests;
for Your dying priests;
for the souls of Your priests in purgatory.
But above all
I recommend to You the priests dearest to me;
the priest who baptized me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted
and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way.
O Jesus
keep them all close to Your heart
and bless them abundantly
in time and in eternity.
Amen.
Mary, mother of all priests, pray for us.
Saint John Mary Vianney, pray for us.
Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, pray for us.

O Hesus,
ipinapanalangin ko sa Iyo ang matapat at maalab Mong Pari;
ang mga lilo at nanlalamig Mong pari;
ang Iyong mga paring nagpapagal dito at sa ibang bansa
lalo na yaong mga nasa kaduluduluhang bahagi ng daigdig;
ang mga pari Mong nahaharap sa matinding tukso at pagsubok;
ang mga nangungulila at nag-iisa Mong pari;
ang Iyong mga bata at maysakit na pari;
ang mga kaluluwa sa purgatoryo ng Iyong mga pari.
Higit sa lahat,
ipinapanalangin ko sa Iyo ang mga paring mahal sa akin;
ang paring nagbinyag sa akin;
ang mga paring nagpapakumpisal sa akin;
ang mga paring nangunguna sa Misa namin
at nagbibigay sa akin ng Iyong Katawan at Dugo sa Banal na Komunyon;
ang mga paring nagtuturo at gumagabay sa akin;
at ang lahat ng paring pinagkakautangan ko ng loob.
O Hesus,
alalahanin at ilapit mo Silang lahat
sa Iyong Mahal na puso
at lagi Mo nawa silang pagpalain,
ngayon at magpasawalang hanggan.
Amen.

Message from Padre Pio
I also bless the zealous work of missionaries.
Reflection
Have I ever considered the simple vocation of talking to another about Christ, one soul at a time?
Scriptural Reading
Matthew 10:7-8
As you go, make this proclamation: "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give.
Prayer
Master Missionary, the Holy Father exhorted all your disciples to be missionaries, not only in the way we speak or think, but also in the way we live out our everyday life. Grant me the courage to persevere in bringing at least one lost soul to you at a time. May your words be my words to them. Amen.

Message from Padre Pio
I wholeheartedly bless the work of catechizing children, who are the little flowers of Jesus.
Reflection
Do I take responsibility, take part, support, or promote the teaching of the Catholic faith to my children or to those who depend on me?
Scriptural Reading
Mark 10:14-16
When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.
Prayer
Chief Catechist, the Holy Father exhorted all your disciples to be catechists, especially in their own homes. May you bless all of us who struggle for a genuine Christian formation of the family, that rooted deeply in your way, humanity may at last enjoy lasting peace and unity. Amen.

Reflection
If I may have spent my time of service in sharing the wisdom of Jesus, then can I spend more time in sharing with others the motherly care of Mary?
Scriptural Reading

But he said in reply to the one who told him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother."
Prayer

Message from Padre Pio
May God be pleased to see that these poor creatures truly repent and return to him.
Reflection
Have I tried to discover how a devotion to our Blessed Mother can lead us to repentance and a return to her beloved Son?
Scriptural Reading
Luke 2:34-35
And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
Prayer
Holy Spouse of the Blessed Virgin, may you guide us, little children, to seek the care of our Mother, that we may find and be nurtured by the love of her Son. Amen.
