“In the end, the gamble of our life is all in this Child. I live for Jesus Christ, I live for his glory, I live to serve him, I live to love him. In Jesus everything has an answer. Without him – only a big void.” St. Padre Pio

“The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain.” St. Padre Pio
At times, it can feel like we are David going up against Goliath, but with God’s grace we can slowly conquer our sinful tendencies which pull us away from Christ and his plan.

“God enriches the soul which empties itself of everything.” St. Padre Pio
The less your heart is filled with your own interests, selfish desires and worries, the more God can fill it with his love and grace. Let Jesus in!

“It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.” -St. Ignatius of Loyola

“Remember that it is not feeling of guilt that constitutes sin but the consent to sin. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.” St. Padre Pio
Feeling tempted is not sinful; consciously consenting is when you cross the line. Temptation can be a golden opportunity to grow in virtue and holiness.
