How to find hope again?
How to find hope again – Words of Spiritual Guidance from Padre Pio
Do not give up on hope which, unfortunately, may happen. When you find yourself in the middle of those trials which can torment you, put your trust in God our Father, knowing that He will protect you even more than a mother would protect her own child.
? Christ Jesus, teach me the love of sacrifice and devotion through the cross. Strengthen me throughout the trials of life so that my faith and hope may venture to face the darkness and remove difficulties from my path. If You are with me, I will not fear. Amen.
Stay with me, Lord,
because I need You beside me.Stay with me, Lord,
because I am weak and need Your strength to not fall.Stay with me, Lord,
because You are my life, and without You I feel lost.Stay with me, Lord,
because I want to remain faithful to You.Stay with me, Lord,
because the night is coming, and the darkness, temptations, and suffering trouble me.Stay with me, Lord,
because I need to recognize You in the breaking of bread, in that light that guides and sustains me.Stay with me, Lord,
because no other reward could be sweeter than our love – a timeless love, a perfect love, a love for eternity.Amen.
