The face of Padre Pio appears on a door, thousands rush in (PHOTO)

The face of Padre Pio appears on a door: there is talk of a prodigious apparition in Ginestra degli Schiavoni, a small town in the Benevento area, where the faithful see the face of San Pio on an old wooden door of a house in the historic center, a few meters from a statue of the friar of Pietrelcina.

The news spread rapidly both in the town and in the neighboring centers of Fortore. THEthe place immediately became a pilgrimage center. The mayor, Zaccaria Spina, had in fact to have the space in front of the house cordoned off.

The same Mayor he says: “Standing near the door you don't notice anything, but just move away and here the face of Saint Pio appears clearly”. At the moment "No comment" and great caution on the matter by the ecclesiastical authorities.

The face of Padre Pio appears on a door: prayer

Prayer to Padre Pio: Padre Pio, you lived in the century of pride and you were humble. Padre Pio you passed among us in the age of the riches dreamed of, played and adored and you remained poor. Padre Pio, next to you no one heard the voice: and you spoke with God; nobody near you saw the light: and you saw God.

Pope Francis: we must pray

Padre Pio, while we were running out of breath, you remained on your knees and saw the love of God nailed to a wood, wounded in the hands, feet and heart: forever! Father Pio, help us to cry before the cross, help us to believe in the face of Love, help us to hear the Mass as the cry of God, help us to seek forgiveness as an embrace of peace, help us to be Christians with the wounds that shed the blood of faithful and silent charity : like the wounds of God! Amen.

Padre Pio the story of the Saint

O Jesus, full of grace and charity and victim for sins, which, driven by love for our souls, you wanted to die on the cross, I humbly beg you to glorify, even on this earth, the servant of God, Saint Pio of Pietralcina who, in generous participation in your sufferings, he loved you so much and did so much for the glory of your Father and for the good of souls. I therefore beg you to grant me grace, through her intercession (to expose), that I crave.
