Look at St. Padre Pio!

Don’t Give up When the Feelings are Gone

The prayer of longing does much for the healing and growth to your soul. Don’t give up when the feelings aren’t there. Don’t freak out and panic.

Appreciate the Baby Steps

If we want to get anywhere with accomplishing our dreams it’s all about the baby steps. We need to learn to appreciate baby steps. Our only goals should be baby steps.
