Padre Pio Day-Three

"To be worried because something we have done has not turned out in accordance with our pure intention shows a lack of humility. This is a clear sign that the person concerned has not entrusted the success of his action to the divine assistance, but has depended too much on his own strength."

"Do not let yourself be overcome by the fear of not living God and consequently not saving yourself...I know that no soul can worthily love its God. But when this soul does everything possible, and trusts in divine mercy, why should Jesus reject it? ....Therefore, if you have given and consecrated everything to God, why do you fear?"

Padre Pio tells us to ask God for the love we should give back to Him. This is the humility of realizing that we cannot love without His own love, and not out of our own efforts.
