Padre Pio sees Jesus talking to him about his agony

The apparitions for Padre Pio could be considered daily, so as to allow the Capuchin monk to live simultaneously in two worlds: one visible and one invisible, supernatural.

Padre Pio himself confessed some experiences in his letters to his spiritual director: Letter to Father Augustine of April 7, 1913: "My dear Father, I was still in bed on Friday morning when Jesus appeared to me. He was all battered and disfigured. He showed me a great multitude of regular and secular priests, among whom several ecclesiastical dignitaries, of whom who was celebrating, who was parrying himself and who was undressing from sacred clothes. The sight of Jesus in distress made me very sorry, so I wanted to ask him why he suffered so much. No answer I had. But his gaze brought me to those priests; but shortly thereafter, almost horrified and as if tired of looking, he withdrew his gaze and when he raised it towards me, to my horror, I observed two tears that streaked his cheeks. He left the crowd of priests with a great expression of disgust on his face, shouting: "Butchers! And turning to me he said ":" My son, do not believe that my agony was three hours, no; I will be because of the souls most benefited by me, in agony until the end of the world. During the time of agony, my son, one must not sleep. My soul goes in search of a few drops of human piety, but alas they leave me alone under the weight of indifference. The ingratitude and sleep of my ministers make my agony more difficult. Alas, how badly they correspond to my love! What afflicts me most and which these to their indifferentism, add their contempt, unbelief. How many times I was there to electrocute them, if I had not been held back by the angels and souls in love with me ... Write to your father and tell him what you saw and heard from me this morning. Tell him to show your letter to the provincial father ... "Jesus continued, but what he said I will never be able to reveal to any creature of this world".
