Padre Pio is one of my favorite Saints, even before I understood or really knew about Christian Saints I had watched His life story in 2008. Little did I know that he would be with me today, bestowing his wonderful grace on me. Recently I was lucky or rather by His grace guided to a book of His that had His writings that He wrote to His devotees through letters and answers. The book has been such an inspiration and whenever I feel troubled or look for guidance to help my soul find some peace as my journey flows, I open the book and see what comes up. Today as I opened the book the message was so beautiful that all I could do was share it:
Bloom Where You're Planted
Take courage and begin the work of your salvation on the path where God places you. What do you expect? We must see And speak to God amid the thunder and turmoil. We must see Him in the bush, amid the fire and thorns, and in order to achieve all this we should go barefoot, totally renouncing our own will and affections. Submit yourself entirely to the will of Gid and keep far from you the suggestion - which is certainly not God's but the enemy's - that you Would serve God better in in a different state. God is served only when He is served according to His will.
He wants to speak to us in the midst of the thorns, the bush, the cloud and the lightning, like He did Moses, and we want Him to speak to us in a sweet and fresh aura, as He did to Elijah. But what are you afraid of? Listen to our Lord who says to Abram and also to you. Do not be afraid Abram I am your shield.
