If you have received the gift of suffering,
then you are called to give praise to OUR LORD!
It is then you will receive peace….
You are never alone….
Do you realize that there is someone else in the midst of your struggles?
Are you aware that Christ is there with you in your times of suffering?
Jesus Christ the third person of the Divine Trinity is with YOU, call on HIM when you are feeling that life is becoming a challenge to you and all you want to do is say, “I quit, I’m done, I can’t do this anymore”. No, you can not do this anymore without HIM! I would like to challenge you to turn to Jesus and Mary today, start with 5 minutes of prayer and quiet. Then build up from there to 15 minutes then 30 and if you can get to one hour a day, wonderful. Open your Bible and let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart, He is the best friend that you will ever have in your life time, get to know HIM.
You are not alone in your suffering Christ Jesus and his mother have suffered them for you. Jesus is ever present in the sacraments of Holy Mother Church, hold on to these gifts and graces that we have been left from God Our Father in Heaven. Keep them as a treasure in your life and your heart.
We the faithful are in this together, you are not alone! Let us fight the good fight, the battles are there, but Christ Jesus is greater and He has already won!
Christ awaits YOU in the Blessed Sacrament run to HIM…
AMEN.

Whenever you are seized by melancholy…
A note from a Poor Clare Colettine nun to YOU… Please note this will be the last mail from “the Heart a Priest”, until the Spirit speaks otherwise.
Dear Little hearts,
There are in life some situations that despite our best efforts, we are filled with sadness and melancholy, human contact seems remote even when we are surrounded by others….it is a state that somehow God allows, and it is a space where we should reach out to him…. unite our hearts to his own agony, to his desolation in the Garden of Gethsemane…. we will draw strength from the mere fact that Christ suffered and carried all this before.
Without a doubt if we trust and surrender God will send an angel of consolation to us.
From the Heart of A Priest.
Thoughts of Brother Pio- (Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina).
Whenever you are seized by melancholy, let your thoughts dwell on that fateful night on which the Son of God began the work of redemption in the solitude of Gethsemane and offer your own sufferings to the Divine Father, along with the sufferings of Jesus.
Renew your faith…

Dear Little hearts,
Let these words speak………. and if through infirmity, sickness or other reasons it is not possible for you to actually attend Mass, never the less focus upon the Great Sacrifice of love.
The next best thing is simply to read, ponder upon the prayers of the Mass and unite our hearts to the Sacrifice being offered up all over the world, we can be present be desire. And then make a spiritual communion, acknowledging to Jesus that although you cannot at this moment receive him sacramentally, invite him to invade and possess your mind, your heart, your soul, your total being…. say to him with all you are ” This is my Body Given up for you”….Love will unite you.
From the Heart of A Priest.
Thoughts of Brother Pio- (Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina).
Renew your faith by attending Holy Mass. Keep your mind focused on the mystery that is unfolding before your eyes. In your mind’s eye transport yourself to Calvary and meditate on the Victim who offers Himself to Divine Justice, paying the price of your redemption.
This note came from the Poor Clare Colettines TMD
Remember Jesus is with You!
Thoughts of Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
In darkness, at times of tribulation and distress of the spirit, Jesus is with you. In such a state
you see nothing but darkness, but
I can assure you on God’s behalf that
the light of the Lord is all around you and pervades your spirit. You see yourself forsaken and I assure you
that Jesus is holding you tighter than ever to His divine Heart.
I feel a great desire to abandon myself
Sharing a note to YOU from the Poor Clare Colettines TMD:
Dear Little hearts,
Inspirations to surrender oneself to God, to abandon the known and cast ourselves trustingly into the Lords arms can only be a praying , a moving of the Holy Spirit within us. Any journeying from self to God, any response from our own self centeredness to God centeredness is a touch, an embrace of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is love and love desires union, and this inner desire that Saint Pio talks about in this extract is a genuine, authentic Divine Touch. We should always listen to such whisperings, they will bring us to a greater fullness of life. We will be sadly disappointed , it may be sooner or later, if we place our trust in the things of this world, they can disappear in an instant, and they belong only to the hear and now….far greater will be our happiness if we place our trust in God. The whole Christian journey is a pilgrimage of trust.
Many of us are wounded from having our trust broken, and it takes courage to begin again and to go on trusting, people may fail us God never will.
“From the Heart of A Priest”
Thoughts of Brother Pio- (Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina).
I feel a great desire to abandon myself with greater
trust to the Divine Mercy and to place my hope in God alone.
Don’t worry about tomorrow
A note to you from a Poor Clare Colettine, TMD, Wales/UK
Dear Little hearts,
We all know that worry is useless, we all know it is fruitless, and yet coming to the acceptance and belief of that reality is a long, hard journey.
Presented with certain circumstances we are fearful, uncertain, and our inordinate imagination will present us with all kinds of mental pictures, of things that might, or could happen, which take our peace away.
Worry can be debilitating and exhausting leading nowhere, it is good to look back on our life and see how many times we have worried ourselves sick over something that in the final analysis, never became a reality!!!
Little by little we do learn.
Much better simply to throw ourselves into the arms of our Heavenly Father, the God who loves us, and will to trust and trust and trust. It is not easy but practise is a good thing and we will grow with every little surrender. Do not be robbed of your joy by being preoccupied with worry and worldly concerns, your Father knows your needs, he is with you and loves you, let it go…. and know peace.
We have many friends, much loved in America, please pray for the Bay State, for the 670 men and women with pending deployment, pray please for their families and loved ones. Ask Padre Pio to intercede for them all… In his lifetime many American soldiers visited Padre Pio, he was a priest for all.
“From the Heart of A Priest”
Thoughts of Brother Pio- (Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina).
Don’t worry about tomorrow because the very same Heavenly Father who takes care of you today will have the same thought tomorrow and always. . . What does a child in the arms of such a Father have to fear? Be as children, who hardly ever think about their future as they have someone to think for them. They are sufficiently strong just by being with their father.
