Even now I can pray for the happy death of my great-grandfather

 

Padre Pio was asked why he prayed for the happy death
of his great-grandfather who had already passed away.
He said, “For the Lord, the past doesn’t exist; the future doesn’t exist.
Everything is an eternal present.
Those prayers had already been taken into account.

And so I repeat that
even now I can pray for the happy death of my great-grandfather.”


– from the book, The Holy Souls by Alessio Parente, OFM Cap.
