Graces Within You

Have you been trying hard to be a "good person" but no one seems to notice? You've been asking the Lord to help you grow in holiness. You've been praying more. You've been offering up your daily trials as prayers for others. You're doing "all the right things," but still, no one seems to notice. Do not worry. God and His Holy Angels and Saints notice, and they applaud you. In fact, Saint Padre Pio sees what you're doing and he says to you, just as he said to a friend in a letter, "I admire the workings of grace within you, and I render heartfelt thanks to the Lord for this. Be cheerful and rest trustingly, as always, in the arms of Divine Mercy and do not fear." (Letters 3, page.907)
