Padre Pio Lenten Reflection: Third Sunday

"During World War I, Padre Pio was required to serve in the armed forces but was repeatedly put on medical leave due to poor health. He was eventually relieved of his duties after 182 days of service. As the war raged on, Pope Benedict XV implored all Christians to pray for an end to the fighting. Padre Pio offered himself as a sacrifice for the end of the war."

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