An Inspirational letter of Padre Pio that relates to our sins and Gods Mercy courtesy of a reader...:beautiful and a great reminder..(thank you Ivan!)
In order to have a continuously devout life, you need nothing more than to establish a few excellent and noble principles solidly within yourself.
The first principle I want you to understand is from St. Paul: "WE KNOW THAT IN EVERYTHING GOD WORKS FOR GOOD WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIM" (Romans 8:28). And truly, since God can, and knows how to, bring forth good even...commiting, are ordained to good for those who serve him. If holy King David had never sinned, he might not have acquired such profound humility. Magdalene would not have loved Jesus so profoundly if he had not forgiven her for so many sins....
Medidate, dearest daughter, on this great operation of mercy: It converts our wretchedness into benefits.
