Padre Pio was an Italian Capuchin friar known for his great kindness and charity. His town became a pilgrimage site for many people looking to revere his faith and to view his stigmata (miraculous wounds similar to those Christ received). According to the stories of those who visited him, Padre Pio could bilocate, levitate, and heal people with the touch of his hand. He once rid a young boy of meningitis by speaking the words, “Don’t worry, you will soon be cured.” One of Padre Pio’s most popular quotes is “Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry.” Saint Padre Pio’s canonization was the first we ever attended. He was born in May 1887 in the town of Pietrelcina, Italy.

He was Canonized in 2002 and Saints For Sinners founder Rob Clemenz attended the celebratory event in Rome. Padre was born in Italy in 1887 and became a Priest. While serving the Lord, he received the Stigmata, the 5 wounds of Christ. Many stories have been told about Padre and there are some people alive who actually knew him. Padre passed away in 1968.
Here is a story of how he became known as a miracle worker: A boy named Samuel somehow swallowed a small magic marker top while on his school bus. The nurse at school gave him time to “digest” the plastic. But the next day he got very sick and went into a coma. A man met his Mom at the hospital and in an effort to offer support he took his Padre Pio medal off and gave it to her. The Mom then put the medal on Sam’s hospital pillow.
He eventually recovered and the first questions he asked was, “Can I see the Priest who came to visit me?” But no Priest had visited! The boy described Padre Pio as his visitor. Padre had appeared to Samuel in a vision and said he was praying for him. The boy got well and he lives today!
Wear Padre Pio for faith in healing!
