Thursday of the Fourth week of Easter
Commentary of the day
Saint Pio of Pietralcina "Padre Pio" (1887-1968), Capuchin
Letters 3,707 ; 2,70

"Whoever receives the one I send receives me"

After love for our Lord, I would recommend to you that of the Church, his Bride. She is like a dove sitting on her nest and hatching the Bridegroom's chicks. Always be thankful to God that you are a daughter of the Church, following that vast number of souls who have gone before us along this blessed way. Have a great deal of sympathy for all pastors, preachers and spiritual guides; they are to be found over all the earth... Pray for them to God, that in being  saved themselves they may become fruitful in winning salvation for souls.

Pray for the wicked as much as for the devout; pray for the Holy Father; pray for all the needs of the Church, both spiritual and temporal, since she is our mother. And offer a special prayer, too, for all those who work for the salvation of souls to the glory of the Father.
