Padre Pio Lenten Reflection: Fourth Friday

"Padre Pio had a rather structured prayer life. In addition to some of the things he is more well known for, he was also a treasured spiritual adviser to many. He often corresponded with people, trying to help them live more fulfilling prayer lives. One of the things he often told people was that he believed there were five principles that every Catholic should practice in their lives. 

"Those principles were: go to Confession weekly; receive Communion daily; perform an examination of conscience every evening; do spiritual reading every day; and meditate twice a day. For him, these steps were the key to maintaining - and growing - a strong faith life"

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