Do what the Lord tells you!

St. Padre Pio speaks to us:

“In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Do what the Lord tells you! This is a very simple rule. Give your heart to Jesus and to Mary, the Mother of God. Look what I have brought you!”

Now the padre opens his hands. There is a beautiful pearl in each of the padre's hands. He speaks:

“Look one pearl of heaven is the Holy Scriptures, the Word of God and the other pearl is the Catechism of the Catholic Church. When you read the Holy Scriptures, you are reading the Word of God and you should not only read it, but contemplate it in your hearts. The Catechism points you into the love of Jesus and so that you can understand everything well and move it in your hearts, I would like to place it close to your heart or into your heart. So I have two pearls of heaven for you: Sacred Scripture, the Word of God and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.”

The pearls turn into the two books in his two hands. The catechism opens in his hand and I see the passage in the catechism “The Holy Catholic Church, I paragraph 5, No. 946 - 948: The Communion of Saints ”What is the Church other than the assembly of all the saints?”

Padre Pio speaks to us:

“I commend this passage to you. Contemplate it with your loving hearts. I pray for you with Jesus, at the throne of the Lord, because you live in a time full of confusion; you live in a time full of fears. Trust Jesus, He is the Lord! He is love itself and will not leave you alone! The Lord comes to you as King of Mercy in this time of confusion and gives you His love and grace. It is up to you to open your hearts and ask. When you read the Holy Scriptures, read them with an open loving heart and let every word of God move your heart. When you read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, contemplate it. Then also move these words of the Lord's Church in your open loving hearts. If you accept both pearls, you will grow in faith and be strong. Not because of your own works, the Lord Jesus strengthens you with His love, with His grace. Forget all this confusion in the world and set out. Do what is pleasing to Jesus, what is pleasing to Mary, the Mother of God. I look into your hearts and see that each of you is carrying a cross. Well, you are not carrying it alone. You carry it with Jesus. For the unbeliever, the cross is foolishness. But for those who believe in Jesus and love him with all their heart, the cross is the tree of life that bears the blossoms and fruits of heaven. But I would like to give you graces today. The source of grace is my Lord Jesus. And so I will bless you with the priest. Pray for your spiritual fathers, I want to put this in your hearts. This is my request to you. Amen.”
