You can often spot American tourists by one simple thing: the water bottle they carry everywhere. We’re always searching for the perfect way to stay hydrated, the next bottle, the next solution.

Chase your goals and work hard but when it comes to what truly matters, there’s only one answer. It’s always been Jesus.

Obedient To Jesus
By location, being in two places at once. You know who could do that? Kill me. Padre Pio, reading other People’s Souls. You know who could do that? Who? Padre Pio. Loving Jesus with his whole heart.
