Padre Pio Lenten Reflection: Fifth Friday

"Padre Pio was a man who admired simplicity. He wholly lived the Franciscan spirit of poverty with detachment from self, possessions, and comforts. There was no doubt that he had a great love for the virtue of chastity, and his behavior was modest in all situations and with all people. In his lifetime, Padre Pio reconciled thousands of men and women back to their faith."

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