Jesus and St.Padre Pio want to remind us that stress can draw attention away from heavenly goals. For the good of our souls, Heaven urges us to seek a calmer, more thoughtful pace of life.

“My children, why do you hurry so? Why do you feel you must move so quickly through your days? This is not the way I intended the children of God to live. You may tell Me that you have many things to do. I respond to you by saying that you are trying to do too much. You will not be holy if you move so quickly.”-Jesus, August 9, 2005
