It should be enough for you to know that in all your life, you never offended the Lord whom you should approach more and more. Thus, do not doubt that all that happens to your soul has been willed by the Lord. As for me, I believe, that his grace will make itself manifest in you through the joy and wise movement of your heart. Why will mature people not praise these kind gestures that every father does? Open your heart to this celestial doctor of hearts and surrender yourself in all confidence to his very sacred hands for he treats you as someone whom he has chosen to follow Jesus closely, until the summit of martyrdom. Therefore, give thanks for the infinite tenderness of our Heavenly Father, who deals thus with your heart to save it. What are these blows of hammer and chisel? They are the shadows, my sister: the fears, temptations, afflictions, spiritual anxieties, and also the physical maladies. To reign with Christ in eternal glory, the heart must thus be cut with large blows of hammer and chisel in this way, as with stones, the divine architect prepares the hearts that it chooses. Thus our heavenly Father acts on the heart which he chooses and desires from all eternity, in his great wisdom and Providence, to build as an eternal dwelling place. When a contractor wants to build a house, he must first cut the stones, which will be used for construction this he does with blows of hammer and chisel. Each heart intended for eternal glory can be very well considered as one of these stones created for the eternal temple. And it can be seen to be true in this way. This is what the holy Catholic church, our tender Mother sings, as the hymn of the Office of the Dedication of a Church. The divine craftsman gets ready to prepare stones to build an eternal temple he cuts these stones by repeated blows of his hammer and carefully polishes them by removing any excess.

In his following and imitation of the crucified Christ he was so generous and perfect that he could have said.” I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.(Gal 2:20).And the treasures of grace which God had granted him so lavishly he unceasingly passed on through his ministry, serving the men and women who came to him in ever greater numbers, bringing to birth an immense host of spiritual sons and daughters. Inflamed by love of Jesus Christ, he became like him in the sacrifice of himself for the salvation of the world. Like the Apostle Paul, St Padre Pio placed at the center of his life and apostolic work the Cross of his Lord as his strength, his wisdom and his glory. You can adopt an hour as a family or a group.
