Padre Pio Lenten Reflection: Fourth Tuesday

"It must have been rather frightening for Padre Pio to experience some of the things that occurred to him throughout his life - things such as bilocation, attacks by the devil, and receiving the stigmata. Can you also imagine what it must have been like to experience any of those things at a young age, as he did? He also did not welcome the notoriety that came once word spread of him bearing the wounds of Christ. Still he accepted each of the burdens that the Lord laid upon him, seeing them as the will of God."

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