Padre Pio and the constant presence of his guardian angel.

Ever since Padre Pio was simply a friar, his life has always been accompanied by the presence of theangelo keeper.

For the saint, the angel was a constant presence, so much so that when he left the house, he didn't close the door and to people who reproached him he pointed out that his little angel would guard the house.

One day, his friend Don Salvatore Patrullo, received a letter from Father Agostino from San Marco in Lamis. When the priest was about to open it, he stopped immediately, noting that the sheet was completely blank, there wasn't even a word. Don Salvatore was waiting for the answer to a question about Padre Pio that was supposed to be written in that letter.

Padre Pio, as if he could read the contents of the letter, told his friend that it was those villains. Don Salvatore secretly wrote to the author of the letter, telling him that the information read by the saint on the white sheet was very accurate.

Who was the angel for Padre Pio

His little childhood friend, his little angel, was always there for him. He was the obedient, precise and punctual friend who as a great teacher of holiness exerted on him a continuous stimulus to progress in the exercise of all the virtues.

If, out of spite from the devil, his friend's letters reached him stained with ink, he knew how to make them legible, because the little angel had suggested that before opening it he should sprinkle it with holy water. When a letter written in French arrived, the voice of his angel translated it for her.

The guardian angel was the intimate friend who in the morning, after waking him up, praised the lord with him. In the infernal assaults that the friar suffered, it was his close friend who soothed his frustrations. When the attacks of the devil became harsh and harsh and Padre Pio felt like dying, if his angel was late in arriving, he reproached him harshly, but he reminded him with his smile that he had never, not even for a second, moved away from him.
