The Heavenly Homeland and You

So, the winter is dark. So, your life sometimes seem dark too. Never fear. The Divine Helmsman—as Saint Padre Pio called Jesus Christ Our Lord—is in charge of your life. Jesus will never fail you. Here is what Saint Padre Pio says to you today: “Live tranquilly and trust in the Divine Helmsman, if you want to come into Port [Heaven] soon, safely and rich in merit. … …continually praise God for the steadfastness He gives you in submitting yourself to His loving trials. … You must eliminate even that little residue of restlessness and worry in desiring to be freed soon, because it impedes the last effects of your patience, which is more perfect when it is least mixed up with disturbances and worries. Do not be frightened if the hour of trial is lengthy. … Do not strive to know why Jesus wants this, but remember that the sons [and daughters] of Israel were in the desert for forty years before reaching the Promised Land…. Courage, I beg you! Pay no attention to the path of trial, but I invite you to keep your eyes constantly fixed on He who guides you to the Heavenly Homeland.” (Saint Padre Pio’s Letters, Volume Three)

I love you, my friend!
