Thanks for the ping. What a celebration! St. Padre Pio pray for us!

Even more amazing than the celebration is that the thread got this far without hijacking to the Whore of Babylon theme.

I was just flipping through a book I have on Padre Pio and found a quote: "In the spiritual life one must always go on pushing ahead and never go backwards; if not, the same thing happens to a boat which when it loses headway gets blown backwards with the wind."
