Today we celebrate the Memorial of St Pius of Pietrelcina – Padre Pio.
We ask his intercession for all our needs…
Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, fondly known by all as ‘Padre Pio’ is perhaps the most famous saint known for bearing the stigmata, the Holy Wounds of Christ, for 50 years of his life.
Padre Pio always emphasized the leading of a holy life. He also said that his real mission will start after his death. And yes, many believers offer their prayers to him night and day, and seek his healing touch. His precious words are among the many things that Padre Pio has left us, words, that are invaluable to those who seek his blessings and the right way of living a spiritual and religious life.
‘Always humble yourself lovingly before God and man, because God speaks to those who are truly humble of heart, and enriches them with His gifts’.
