Imiphefumlo yasePurigatori yavela kuPadre Pio kwaye yacela imithandazo
Ngenye ingokuhlwa uPadre Pio wayephumle kwigumbi elingaphantsi komgangatho wekhaya, elalisetyenziselwa njengendlu yeendwendwe. Wayeyedwa kwaye esandolulela nje phezu kwebhedi xa ngequbuliso kwavela indoda enxibe isondo lengubo emnyama. UPadre Pio, emangalisiwe, evuka, wabuza le ndoda ukuba ngubani na kwaye yayifuna ntoni. Umntu wasemzini waphendula wathi ungumphefumlo wePurattery. “NdinguPietro Di Mauro. Ndibhubhe emlilweni, nge-18 kaSeptemba ngo-1908, kule khonkco isetyenzisiweyo, emva kokugxothwa kweempahla zecawa, njengendawo yokugcina abantu abadala. Nditshonile ndingena malangatye, kumatrasi wam wothukile, ndimangalisiwe bubuthongo bam, kanye kweli gumbi. Ndivela ePurgatory: INkosi indivumile ukuba ize kwaye ndicele ukuba nisebenzise isicelo sakho seMisa eNgcwele kusasa. Enkosi ngale Mass ndizokwazi ukungena eZulwini ”. UPadre Pio waqinisekisa ukuba uza kuyisebenzisa kuye i-Mass yakhe ... kodwa ke nantsi amazwi kaPadre Pio: “Mna, bendifuna ukuhamba naye kumnyango wecosta. Ndiqaphele ukuba bendithetha nomfi kuphela xa bendiphuma ndiye kwigumbi lendlu, umntu owayesecaleni kwam wanyamalala ngequbuliso. Ndimele ndivume ukuba ndibuyele kwigumbi labahlali bendisoyika. KuTata Phaoli da Casacalenda, Umphathi wecawa, ongakhange abalekele kuye, ndicele imvume yokubhiyozela uMisa ngokuhlutha komphefumlo, ewe, emva kokuba ndimcacisile ngokwenzekileyo ”. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva, uTata Paolino, onomdla, wayefuna ukwenza ezinye iitshekhi. esiya kwirejista kamasipala waseSan Giovanni Rotondo, wacela wacela imvume yokubonana nerejista yabangasekhoyo ngonyaka ka-1908. Ibali likaPadre Pio lihambelana nenyaniso. Kwirejista enxulumene nokusweleka kwinyanga yoMsintsi, uTata Paolino walandelisa igama, isibongo kunye nesizathu sokusweleka: "Nge-18 kaSeptemba ngo-1908, uPietro di Mauro wasweleka emlilweni kwindawo yokugcina abaguli, wayenguNicola".
Esi esinye isiqendu saxelelwa nguPadre Pio kuBawo uAnastasio. “Ngenye ingokuhlwa, ngoxa ndandindedwa ekwayaleni ndithandaza, ndeva ukurhashaza kwelokhwe ndaza ndabona ibhinqa eliselula liphithizela lijikeleze isibingelelo esiphakamileyo, ngokungathi livuthulula uthuli lwecandelabra yaye lilungisa neevazi zeentyatyambo. Ndiqinisekile ukuba nguFra Leone owayelungisa kwakhona isibingelelo, ekubeni yayilixesha lesidlo sakusihlwa, ndasondela kwi-balustrade ndathi kuye: "Fra Leone, hamba uye udle, akusiyo ixesha lothuli kwaye ulungise isibingelelo". Kodwa ilizwi, elalingelilo likaFra Leone landiphendula": "AndingoFra Leone", "kwaye ungubani?", ndiyabuza. “Ndingumhlobo wakho owenze i novitiate yakhe apha. Ukuthobela kwandinika umsebenzi wokugcina isibingelelo esikhulu sicocekile kwaye sicocekile kulo nyaka wokulingwa. Ngelishwa, izihlandlo ezininzi ndandisilela ukuhlonipha uYesu kwisakramente ngokudlula phambi kwesibingelelo ngaphandle kokubuyisela iSakramente eSikelelekileyo egcinwe emnqubeni. Ngenxa yokunqongophala kwengcwaba, ndisekwiPurgatory. Ngoku ke uNdikhoyo, ngobubele bakhe obungasifanelanga, undithumile kuni, ukuze niqonde ukuba koda kube nini na ndibandezelekile kuloo malangatye othando. Ndiyakucela…”-” Ndikholelwa ukuba bendinesisa kulo mphefumlo ubandezelekileyo, ndadanduluka ndathi: “Uza kuhlala apho kude kube ngomso kusasa kwiMisa yeConvental”. Loo mphefumlo wadanduluka wathi: “Ukhohlakele! Emva koko wakhupha isikhalo waza wanyamalala. Eso sikhalo savelisa inxeba entliziyweni yam endalivayo nendiya kuliva ubomi bam bonke. Mna, ngegunya elingcwele ngendandiwuthumele kwangoko loo mphefumlo eZulwini, ndawugweba ukuba uhlale obunye ubusuku kumadangatye eNtlambululo-miphefumlo”.
