Padre Pio knew where souls were in the afterlife

Father Onorato Marcucci recounted: one night Padre Pio had been very ill and had caused Father Onorato a lot of annoyance. The following morning Padre Pio said to Father Honored: “I didn't make you sleep tonight, how can I reward you? I thought of your mother. I took the plenary indulgence to send her to Heaven. " Padre Pio had offered his sufferings to obtain the plenary indulgence for Father Onorato's mother who was in Purgatory.

Father Alessio Parente recounts: “Padre Pio was intent as always in prayer, suddenly father Alessio saw him staring intently at the floor and wincing back on the chair raising his hands. At that moment also the face turned red as fiery and the face was covered with small drops of sweat that even wet his hair. Father Alessio then ran to his cell and took several handkerchiefs to dry him at best ". After a few minutes everything normalized and the Father exclaimed: "Let's go to church for the service": But when they returned to the terrace after the Mass, Father Alessio was unable to curb his curiosity enough to ask him: "Father, but he felt bad before the function? " and he replied: "My son, if you had seen what I saw I would have died!". What Padre Pio had seen, Father Alessio never knew.
