A testimony Padre Pio his last appearance
A testimony of Padre Pio his last apparitions. In 1903, the sixteen year old Francesco Forgione entered the Capuchin convent a Morcone, in Italy, where it received the name of Brother Pio. A brilliant young man whose personality combined playfulness and seriousness, threw himself with all his heart into the rigors of the Capuchin novitiate. Perhaps with too much of my heart, because for the following decade Brother Pio suffered from mysterious illnesses that required his superiors to allow him to live with his family in Pietrelcina, his hometown. Inexplicably, the vomiting, fevers, and aches that instantly plagued him when he set foot in the monastery subsided when he returned to his home.
From Brother Pio to Padre Pio
From Brother Pio to Padre Pio. In 1910 it became Padre Pio when the Capuchins ordered it priest. He carried out his first pastoral ministry a Pietrelcina because his bewildering illnesses recurred every time his superiors tried to bring him back to the monastery. Padre Pio celebrated mass in the morning in his parish church and spent his days praying, teaching children, giving advice to people and visiting friends. Struck by his evident pity and moved by his kind affection, the people of Pietrelcina soon came to esteem their young priest as a saint.
The miracles of Padre Pio
Miracles happened every day of Padre Pio's life. Like other miracles like Francesco di Paola, Pius freely contradicted the inviolable laws of nature. He appeared in two places at once to help people in need. He summoned friends by mental telepathy or by letting them smell the violets, which was associated with his presence. He read people's thoughts and used that special knowledge to tease them. He amazed the people in the confessional by describing all their sins in detail. He accurately predicted future events, including his own death. He healed people of deafness, blindness and incurable diseases. And for fifty years he bore the wounds of Christ on his body and suffered enormously.
Padre Pio: A miraculous hospital
Father Pio: A miraculous hospital. Padre Pio embraced his own great suffering as his personal participation in the suffering of Christ. But he couldn't bear the suffering of others. Hundreds came to Our Lady of Grace hoping for a cure, and he knew that only a few of them would receive a miracle cure. His compassion for the many who would not be healed led him to work for the creation of a first-rate hospital in San Giovanni Rotondo that would serve the poor. From the beginning he planned to call him “Home for the relief of suffering”.
Appearance after being proclaimed a saint
Vincenza Di Leo, apparently this is the name of the old woman, said she saw the friar with the stigmata. And even to have it "immortalized" with the mobile phone. Vincenza, 67, devoted to Our Lady of Medjugorje, said that on Wednesday 25 May she was in San Giovanni Rotondo and suddenly found herself in front of the figure of "Padre Pio alive " in Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie, in the church where he lived for half a century. After a moment, the devoted retiree shouted aloud "Padre Pio ... Padre Pio… ”, A sort of invocation for something wonderful and surreal. It seems that: she had the readiness to extract the mobile phone from her bag to portray what was happening to her. Di Leo Padre Pio stood with his back bent towards the altar where there is a statue of Jesus, of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
