Poor Capuchin Priest from San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, in the 19th century, who has stigmata (the 5 wounds of Christ) for 50 years.
Many conversion happens in his lifetime. He prays the rosary 17 times a day, and has the gift of miracles, bilocations, reading hearts. He spends most of his time hearing the confessional. Over 12 hours a day.

He says that when he will be in heaven , he can do much more than when he was on earth. That is why we need to pray to him, to ask the graces as if he was still alive. And he always answers. At least, for me, he does. The graces I ask are usually graces of conversion. Something beneficial for our eternal salvation. He lives in heaven:rolleyes:
St. Padre Pio, pray for us.

Yes, he was the saint I chose when I made my confirmation.
 
St. Pio is awesome!

(And also awesome is your Opening Post!)

I have read books about St. Pio, seen films about his life, and made a pilgrimage to a shrine dedicated to him in Pennsylvania.

Here is one of my favorite prayers of his:

“My past, Lord, to your mercy.
My present, Lord, to your love.
My future, Lord, to your Providence.”
 
I pray to St. Pio every day!! I have a great devotion to him. My favorite quote of his is my signature (read below).
 
mariafransisca1- Thank you for posting this.

I do know about St. Padre Pio but I have to admit I don’t really understand him and I would like to know St. Padre Pio better. So, I am Praying and will Pray for St. Padre Pio’s intercession.

I would also like to find a quote or saying that St. Padre (at least I think it was him) said about Prayers or Praying it isn’t the “Pray, Hope, and Don’t worry” quote either.

My mom has a great devotion St. Padre Pio and has a holy card of him but sadly it is ruined from water damage.

May I suggest the following websites

The official website of St. Padre Pio:

God bless,

Here’s a site with some of his quotes… catholicfire.blogspot.com/2006/09/my-favorite-padre-pio-quotes.html
 
I do not know there are many who loves St Padre Pio:)

St. Padre Pio, pray for all of us
 
I quote from my previous post, The incorruptibles on Youtube - Non decomposing catholic saints
mariafransisca1 said:
I actually has heard that yes, St Padre Pio’s face was decomposed, but the rest of the body was still intact. So they had to remake the face, but not the body.

As for St. Bernadette, I do not know. I think it is original.

Nevertheless, it is still awesome. The catholic church never lies, at least in the case of St. Padre Pio, and St. Bernadette, it is approved by the church officials, as pilgrimage destinations

They can’t be lying to us.

As for other bodies on youtube, I do not know, but I think it is still a miracle for a body for 600 years to still be in the original condition,
I do not think a wax can do that, and please do not question faith, we have to be simple to reach heaven you see… 🤷

I did, when I heard that St Padre Pio’s face was actually decomposed,
But I tried to be simple and with childlike trust to the mother church’s decision, you see.

Be childlike, like child Jesus, He said, that unless we become as little children, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven

Little children in trust to Jesus.

Little children never question their parents.

The Church is our mother, whatever she approves, we accept that with childlike trust. The teachings also. Unless it isn’t approved

But …

Also, we must be prudent, if we think that something is wrong (in the church) it doesn’t mean that we should accept that. By no means, no. We have to pray for the church.

Long live Jesus.

Have faith. These incorrupt bodies are just examples, they are not to be taken for granted. Only to show that we will resurrect at the Last day, together with our bodies. Our souls will be united together again with our glorified body, and will live together with Jesus and all the saints in heaven, seeing Jesus face to face, in happiness, for all eternity.

It is explained in the catechisms of St. Pope Pius X, about resurrection of the body. Isn’t it in our creed too? What we believe?
That we will resurrect with Christ, if we suffer with him?

St. Pope Pius X’s cathechisms
basilica.org/pages/ebooks/Msgr.%20Hagan-The%20Catechism%20of%20Saint%20Pope%20Pius%20X.pdf

That is what is important. Our salvation and resurrection with christ. To live eternally with him in heaven, see him face to face.
And our focus should be that.

May the merciful Jesus bless you, and grant you everlasting life with him in heaven

Our souls are immortal, so is our body that will be resurrected and glorified. Like Mother Mary, she has a body, doesn’t she?

Like St. Paul said in his epistle, that our natural body is different than our glorified body. God will clothe us with a body that is immortal, and the state of the body is of course different than that of our natural body

You can read that at the catechism of st. pope pius X too…

Well, she is the first to take part of that, in her annunciation, when she was taken up to heaven,

I already watched the movie Padre Pio twice. I’m now reading this which I downloaded on my smart phone: mostholyfamilymonastery.com/PadrePio.pdf

At the same time I’m reading the book Padre Pio Gleanings:amazon.com/Padre-Pio-Gleanings-Pascal-Cataneo/dp/2890395073/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309474586&sr=8-1

and today I got the book Pray, Hope, and Don’t Worry: True Stories of Padre Pio that I ordered from amazon: amazon.com/gp/product/1593305753/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d1_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=02BFSEF7PJ2NFPX1PQEA&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846

I’m really in the Padre Pio mode right now.😛

I would not suggest the Most Holy Family Monastery if I were you.

If you search their website or name on CAF or even if you Google search you’ll understand why.

A question I asked 2 years ago about them here:

forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=317952
 
Does anybody know what St Pio is the patron saint of, other than of civil defense volunteers? Thinking of making him my patron saint but I hope to have more connections with him 🙂
