Stay Away From People Who Ask For These 5 Things | Padre Pio

Stay Away From People Who Ask For These 5 Things | Padre Pio stay away from people who ask for these five things—because the cost is not just your time or your peace. It could be your soul. First, stay away from those who ask you to compromise your faith. They may not do it with a loud voice. No, sometimes the devil whispers through friends, colleagues, even family—asking you to just "be quiet" about your beliefs, to "go along" with what you know is wrong. My friend, Jesus was crucified for standing in truth. Shall we deny Him for comfort? Remember what Padre Pio said: “The cross is the key to Paradise.” Never compromise the cross. Second, avoid those who ask for your silence when injustice is done. The world will tell you to look the other way. But silence in the face of evil is not neutrality—it is complicity. If someone asks you to remain quiet about abuse, sin, or corruption, they are not a friend of your soul. Padre Pio often exposed sin through love, not by hiding it. Truth must be spoken with mercy, but never buried. Third, be wary of those who ask you to hate in the name of loyalty. Whether it’s hatred toward another race, another church, another soul—do not be fooled. Loyalty to people should never override loyalty to Christ, who commands us to love even our enemies. The devil wraps division in the cloth of friendship. But we are called to unity in the Spirit. Fourth, flee from those who ask for your time but never honor your values. There are people who will drain your life with endless drama, gossip, and selfishness. They offer nothing to your spirit but take everything from your peace. Padre Pio said, “Time spent with God is never wasted.” If someone pulls you away from prayer, worship, and service—turn back to Christ. And finally, stay away from those who ask for your forgiveness but never repent. We are called to forgive always—but true reconciliation requires humility and change. Beware of those who use your mercy as a license to keep hurting you. Forgive them, yes—but do not let them poison your path. Mercy is divine. But boundaries are holy. My brothers and sisters, we are living in spiritual war. Padre Pio bore the wounds of Christ not only in his body but in his soul—because he refused to please the world. And so must we. Surround yourself with people who lead you to prayer, to holiness, to the foot of the Cross. Stay near those who build up your faith—not those who tear it down for their own gain. As Saint Paul said, “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33) Let this message be a spiritual shield for you.
