Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let the Holy Spirit lead you to the Living Water that feeds our well of faith. When asked about his spiritual gifts of healing, bilocation, prophecy, and stigmata, Padre Pio replied, “You know, they are a mystery to me, too.” While you might think he is just being modest, he is actually getting at the heart of how the Holy Spirit works in every Christian’s life. We can’t fully understand why God gives us certain gifts, but as we walk with Christ, we can engage with this mystery and journey towards holiness. In Welcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio, Susan De Bartoli shares stories and wisdom from the life of this humble monk to show how we can use our unique spiritual gifts to love others and draw from the well of faith to encounter Christ in profound ways. Following the success of her Advent devotional, Welcoming the Christ Child with Padre Pio, Susan De Bartoli invites you to explore Padre Pio’s relationship with the third member of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Spirit, who is the source of all spiritual gifts. Through the stories of this simple Capuchin priest, you’ll discover what is possible for those who surrender themselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. At Baptism, we all receive the fruits of the Spirit—gifts like wisdom, fortitude, and piety—that empower us to “dive deep” into the well of faith. The Holy Spirit also graces some of us with special charisms—supernatural gifts such as healing, teaching, or intercessory abilities—intended to serve the Church. In this book, you’ll learn how to nurture these gifts, just as Padre Pio did, so that even your “ordinary“ spiritual gifts and charisms can bless others and deepen your own faith. Each chapter offers quotations from Padre Pio, a short story about the saint, prayer, and reflection questions that you can apply to your own life, such as: What are my spiritual gifts and how have I seen them play out in my life already? Am I consistently drinking from the well of faith? What does the Lord want me to do with my life, and how can I use my spiritual gifts to serve the Church? Am I willing to surrender even the good things in my life to glorify the Lord? Welcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio is the perfect companion for those who are already drawn to Padre Pio’s spirituality or anyone yearning to strengthen their relationship with the Holy Spirit. Through the example of this extraordinary saint, you will discover how continually drawing from the well of Living Water can drastically change your everyday walk with Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Padre Pio is known as the priest with the stigmata, the five wounds of Christ, which he bore for fifty years. They are many books telling of his miracles, healings, spiritual gifts of bilocation, reading of consciences, prophecies, and many more. There are none written specifically on the theology of Padre Pio--the spiritual principles he lived by. These principles can be summed up in the understanding of Redemptive Suffering. It was "the way of Padre Pio." In his own words, St. Pio tells us how to love the Mass, his participation in the Mass, the Madonna, how to pray, to survive the Dark Night, as well as its purpose, the importance of purgatory, and how to use the pain in our life to sanctify ourself and others. Most importantly, he tells us why God allows suffering, its purpose in our lives, and how to heal others with it. Any spiritual child of Padre Pio who seeks to know and understand this saint will find, in simple words, how to live out the spiritual principles he lived by.Filled with over four hundred citations and sixty references from St. Pio and other Redemptive Suffering saints, such as St. Faustina Kowalska, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Teresa of Avila, The Way of Padre Pio is well documented. Each saint offers their understanding and experiences of suffering and how they used it to live joyous lives, and not only live joyously but heal others with it.The Way of Padre Pio weaves the basic tools of Redemptive Suffering--penance and reparation, which take the form of suffering and sacrifice--into common areas of life and how to use them to sanctify ourself and others. It is how to live the Redemptive Life in all circumstances and answer Mary's call at Fatima to offer ourselves as Victims for the salvation of the world.There are additional resources through the website, friendsofpadrepio.com, that include bookmarks, prayers, and reading materials, as well as how to begin a prayer group at your parish.

Download or read book Prayer written by Pope Francis, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is prayer and why is it so important? Pope Francis teaches that prayer is the "heartbeat of the Church" and our "yes" to an encounter with God: In the human body, there are some essential functions, such as breathing and the beating of the heart. I like to imagine that the personal and communal prayer of us Christians is the breath, the heartbeat of the Church, which instills its strength in the service of those who work, study, teach; which makes fruitful the knowledge of educated people and the humility of simple people; which gives hope to the tenacity of those who fight injustice. Prayer is our saying "yes" to the Lord, to His love that reaches us; it is welcoming the Holy Spirit who, without ever growing weary, pours out love and life upon all. While we are not always conscious of our breath, we can never stop breathing, because this is the source of our physical life. In the same way, prayer is the source — the very breath — of our spiritual life. Each time we pray, we encounter God and come to share more fully in his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I thank you Holy Spirit for getting my attention that you may mentor things unto me by your Ministry, for the purpose that you were baptized in me, to comprehend the will of God, for my life. That I may be the Minister of the Gospel, to preach and teach the unsearchable riches of God, as you have revealed the mystery of the Gospel unto me, by your revealing power. So that the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, may be better understood, in a believers life, for the purpose of the Body of Christ, receiving your baptism. According to the grace that God has given and blessed me with, the Anointing that you have revealed unto me. I received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, when I was twenty-one years old. I learned to continually pray in tongues, even though I never really understood, the purpose and real importance, at this time of my life, until many years later. As God was able to steady my walk with Him, does this sound like you or even many others, in the Body of Christ Jesus, today? God has revealed unto me that there are millions, in the Church that have the baptism, in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, when He arrived in them. However for multitudes, many of Gods Children, have never gone past, receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Many have never prayed in the Spirit of tongues since they were baptized, with the baptism, in the Holy Spirit and they do not know that they need to, for Him to make intercession for them, according to the will of God in their spiritual life, for their spiritual growth, to become taught many things that are spiritual. Many in the Body of Christ that have received the baptism, in the Holy Spirit have no idea of the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in their life and this includes, many Ministers of the Gospel. Why? Because, if you are not called to preach or to teach this revelation, unto the Body of Christ, you cannot Minister a revelation, you have not been given, by the Holy Spirit. You have to be given the grace of God to Minister along this line of teaching things about the Holy Spirits Ministry, in a believer's life and it is God that calls and gives us grace, on the subjects, in which we are assigned to preach and to teach in, as Anointed vessels of God. A Child of God will have to learn, what I have been taught, the price of grace, is to sell out unto God and to let go of this world. You will have to come to a place of surrender, in your life, in your walk with God. Your desire will have to be set on fire for God and His all, for your life. You will have to come to the place in your life that all you want to do is please God and walk Holy before Him, as a living sacrifice that is Holy and acceptable, which is our reasonable service, as scriptures teach us all. The Holy Spirit has a Voice and you must learn, to Hear Him when He speaks unto you. You must learn to obey His leadings, when He gives them unto you. Your obedience unto the Voice of the Holy Spirit, will have to become, a life time commitment, in your walk with God, to Hear many things from the Holy Spirit, Ministering things unto you, as He reveals His Ministry unto you now. In you're not realizing it or knowing certain things, the Holy Spirit, is living in you to reveal all things that are spiritual unto you. You're in, the School of the Spirit now and you do not even know it. This is why that it is so important to become sensitive unto the promptings and Voice of the Holy Spirit that God baptized in you, my dear reading friend. Your maturing unto your spiritual maturity, in growing up spiritually, according to Gods standard of growing up, will depend on your obedience, all the days of your life. Begin now by saying Welcome Holy Spirit, into my life and make room for Him now according to His, leadings that He will give unto you.
