“Jesus said…Are you discussing with one another… ‘A little
while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? Amen, Amen I say
to you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices and you will grieve, but your grief will
become joy.” John 16:19-20. St. Padre Pio said, “. . . Stay in the boat in which our Lord has
placed you, and let the storm come. You will not perish. It appears to you that Jesus is sleeping,
but let it be so. Don’t you know that if He sleeps, His heart vigilantly watches over you?” Let us
pray, Lord God, what a trial of faith Your disciples went through. To see You tortured and then
crucified, and then rejoicing that You live forever more! Through the intercession of those early
disciples, may we be faithful, and be joyful witnesses to all we meet. Amen. “Let your light
shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
