Padre Pio Lenten Reflection: Third Thursday

"Padre Pio suffered from poor health his entire life, beginning around the age of 9. In his later life, after his ordination to the priesthood, he was separated from his religious community for almost five years because of his health. Although the cause of his prolonged illness remained a mystery to his doctors, Padre Pio did not become discouraged. When impatience arose, he turned to prayer to find peace and meaning in the despair."

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