Lent with Padre Pio: Second Saturday

"All of us have had times when we've reacted harshly or unkindly to someone. Padre Pio was not exempt from this either. At times he would scold people who he felt weren't truly sorry for their sins or if he thought they had not come to confession for the right reasons. (Some people would come to his confessional simply because they wanted to see the priest with the stigmata.)

"Padre Pio, realizing his tendency to do this, acknowledged this weakness so many of us have and expressed frustration over it. . . . "

Franciscan Media is offering a special Lenten series of meditations, "Lent with Padre Pio." The mediation for the Second Saturday is as follows:
