Praying in the Presence of Our Lord With St. Padre Pio



The world-famous stigmatist, Saint Padre Pio of Italy, always told people,
"You must never fail toapproach the holy Banquet of the Divine Lamb, as nothing will better gather your spirit than its King; nothing will warm it so much as its Sun; nothing will dissolve it as sweetly as His Balm. there is no remedy more powerful than this...."

St. Pio also said,
"Fly in spirit before the Tabernacle when you cannot go there with the body, and there express your ardent desires."

Praying In the Presence of Our Lord with St. Padre Pio offers you meditations that you can use to draw closer to Jesus, whether you are bodily in the presence of the Holy Eucharist, Christ's Body and Blood, or whether you are there "in spirit."

These meditations will help you to open up to the all-embracing love of Our Lord. Before the Blessed Sacrament--whether in body or "in spirit"--you will experience God's joy, peace and --best of all--God's overwhelming Presence.
