In bull markets, buy dips and breakouts.

In bear markets, sell rallies and breakdowns.

And systematically cut your losses when things aren't going your way.

It's really that simple... You don't have to be Nostradamus to get this right.

[St. Padre Pio Quotes @PadrepioSaint]

"Don't worry to the point of losing your inner peace. Pray with preserverance, with faith, with calmness and serenity."

Holy Mass celebrated by Padre Pio

Heaven on Earth:

[St. Padre Pio Quotes @PadrepioSaint]

✝️. "The more we thank God for what He has done for us, the more we create the conditions for further blessings."

[Father V @father_rmv]

Ven. Cardinal Nguyen Van Thuan of Vietnam:

I was in prison for 13 years, 9 of which in solitary confinement. Two guards watched me but never spoke to me; just yes and no.

But I knew that after all, they were my brothers and I had to be kind to them. I had no gift to offer as a prisoner. I had nothing at all, nothing to please them. What to do? One night, a thought came. "You are still very rich. You have the love of Christ in your heart. Love them as Jesus loves you".

The next day I set to work, first, by showing gladness and by smiling. I began to tell stories about my journeys in countries where people live in freedom and enjoy their culture and great technical progress. That stimulated their curiosity and they asked many, many questions. Slowly, very slowly, we became friends. They wanted to learn foreign languages. My guards became my disciples! The atmosphere of the prison changed considerably. The quality of our relationship changed for the better.

At that time, in another part of the area, a group of twenty people were learning Latin to be able to read Church documents. Their teacher was a former catechist. One of my guards was in the Latin class, and one day he asked me if I could teach him songs in Latin.

"There are so many", I replied, "And they are all so beautiful".

"You sing and I’ll choose", he retorted.

And so I sang Salve Regina, Salve Mater, Lauda Sion, Veni Creator, Ave Maris Stella - You’ll never guess the song he chose. The Veni Creator!

I can’t begin to tell you how moving it is to be in a Communist prison and hear your guard, coming down the stairs at 7 AM every morning, on his way to the gymnastics yard for physical exercises, singing the Veni Creator!

I will speak one language: Charity.

In another prison in Hanoi, I became friends with my guard and was able to request a piece of metal wire. He was terrified. "I studied in the University of Police that when someone wants electric wire, he wants to kill himself!" he cried. I explained that Christians, and most of all priests, do not commit suicide.

"And so what are you going to do with electric wire?" he asked.

"I need a chain to wear my cross."

"But how can you make a chain from wire?"

"If you bring me two little pincers, I’ll show you."

"Much too dangerous!"

"But we’re friends!"

He hesitated and finally said, "It’s too hard to refuse. Tonight at 7 PM we’ll do it. But we have to finish before 11. I’ll have my companion take the evening off. If he knew, he’d denounce the both of us."

That evening, with the tools he brought, we cut and shaped and worked together to make my chain and we finished it before 11 PM!

This cross and chain are not only my souvenir of captivity, as precious as that may seem. They are a constant reminder that only Christian charity can bring about a change of heart. Not arms, not threats, not the media. It was very hard for my guards to understand when I spoke about loving our enemies, reconciliation, and forgiveness.

"Do you really love us?"

"Yes, I really love you."

"Even when we cause you pain? When you suffer because you’re in prison without trial?"

"Look at all the years we’ve spent together. Of course, I love you!"

"And when you get out, will you tell your people to find us and beat us and hurt our families?"

"I’ll continue to love you even if you wish to kill me."

"But why?"

"Because Jesus taught us to love always; if we don’t, we are no longer worthy to be called Christians."

There is not enough time to tell you all the other moving stories which are proof of the liberating power of the love of Jesus.

You wear one uniform and speak one language—Charity.

Charity is the sign by which you will be recognized as one of our Lord’s disciples. It is a badge which costs little but is most difficult to find. Charity is the most important language. Saint Paul regarded it as far more important than being able "to speak the languages of men and even of angels".
