Thought n° 182

Tuesday 1 July

God does not want you to experience the feeling of love for Him and your neighbour in a perceptible manner…. How fortunate we are to be held so tightly to our heavenly tutor! We need do no more than we are doing at present; that is to love divine Providence and abandon ourselves in his arms and Heart. 

No, my God, I desire no greater pleasure than my faith, my hope, my love; to be able only to say sincerely, even if sometimes without feeling, that I would rather die than abandon this virtue ( Letters III, p. 425). Padre Pio
