“My son was saved by Padre Pio”, the story of a miracle

In 2017, a family of the parana, in Brazil, witnessed a miracle in the life of Lazaro Schmitt, then 5 years, through the intercession of Father Pio.

Greicy Schmitt he told in a post sent to the profile of São Padre Pio on Instagram that he had known the story of the Italian saint just a year earlier.

As reported by Greicy, in May 2017, his son was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, an eye cancer. “Our faith and security in Padre Pio's intercession strengthened us,” said Lazzaro's mother.

The boy then underwent 9 months of treatment, including enucleation of the left eye, a procedure in which the eyeball is removed.

When Lázaro performed the last chemotherapy session, Greicy asked Padre Pio for his eternal protection for his son. To thank him, he sent a beautiful photo of him to the novitiate of the “Way” fraternity.

"By the great intercession of Padre Pio and Our Lady he was healed and, after 9 months without chemo, we kept our promise," said the mother. The family lives in Corbelia, Paraná. Currently, Lázaro is an altar boy in the parish.
