Padre Pio Lenten Reflection: Fifth Sunday

"Toward the end of his life and after his death, Padre Pio has become a popular saint among Catholics. [I]n 2018, Pope Francis made a visit to Pietrelcina to mark the centenary of Padre Pio receiving the stigmata and the 50th anniversary of the saint’s death. While there, he invoked the spirit of Padre Pio, encouraging those in attendance to put their faith into action. He urged them to follow the saint’s example and seek comfort and solace in prayer and the arms of Christ."

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