Your Holiness,
… I know that your heart is suffering much these days … for the lack of
obedience of some, even Catholics, to the high teaching that you, assisted by
the Holy Spirit and in the name of God, are giving us. I offer you my prayers
and daily sufferings as a small but sincere contribution on the part of the
least of your sons in order that God may give you comfort with his Grace to
follow the straight and painful way in the defense of eternal truth, which never
changes with the passing of the years. Also, in the name of my spiritual
children and the Prayer Groups, I thank you for your clear and decisive words
that you especially pronounced in the last encyclical "Humanae Vitae";
and I reaffirm my faith, my unconditional obedience to your illuminated
directions.
May God grant victory to the truth, peace to his Church, tranquility to the
world, health and prosperity to your Holiness so that, once these fleeting
doubts are dissipated, the Kingdom of God may triumph in all hearts, guided by
your apostolic work as Supreme Pastor of all Christianity.
Humbly yours,
Padre Pio, Capuchin
San Giovanni Rotondo
