Lent with Padre Pio: Meditation for the First Thursday

"Over the years, Padre Pio heard millions of confessions. People flocked to him, so much so that he would spend long days sitting in the confessional. Frequent confession was a priority for him. He often used the example of dusting a room, pointing out that even if you dust a room, when you come back the next week it will need to be dusted again. But he also had the gift of seeing one's soul and was not afraid to call out those he felt were not truly sorry for their sins or had simply come to see the priest with the stigmata."

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