    As I comment here, it is 9/23/2021, the feast day of Padre Pio and the sixth anniversary of the death of my spouse, Cynthia Alexa who died of cancer. Please pray for her soul and all those who have died of cancer. May she Rest In Peace. Padre Pio watch over Cynthia. Help her into heaven.

    Now I kinda understand my dream about Padre Pio and JP2. I was a single mother pregnant and was very worried bc was not financially able, no house no money no friends that could help. the baby dad was on drug and wanted me to abort the baby, and he just meant a younger girlfriend. I dreamt JP2 smiling brightly with me at his side and Padre Pio holding me by the hand as I was falling off the balcony. now my son is 16 and reads the bible daily not much but does read The Word. please pray for us Father Chris.thank you Lord for the Holy Angels!

      How does one pray to Padre Pio, I mean do you simply ask him for him to ask God for you ?
      Do you just talk to him ?
      I am a sinner, and I know stories of him when he was in confession simply closing the confessional curtain on people.
      I am a sinner, and at times I feel like God has abandoned me.
      That Padre Pio will close the curtain on me as well if I pray to him.
      I am a sinner asking Padre Pio for his friendship, for his intercession.
      I hate asking for help with my health issues and emotional health when so many others deserve help over me .

You are not alone but we are blessed to be Catholic and to have the gifts of the sacraments, so I would recommend confession.
      My sister bought me a St Pio candle and it has this prayer, perhaps it may help you;
      Oh Jesus, full of Grace and charity,
      victim for sinners, so impelled by Your love of us that You willed to die on the cross, I humbly entreat Thee to glorify in heaven and on earth St. Pio of Pietrelcina, who generously participated in Your sufferings, who loved Thee so much and laboured so faithfully for the glory of Your Heavenly Father and for the good of souls.

    I have a great devotion to Padre Pio, so thank you so much for this, Father Chris. There are so many amazing stories about him! You mentioned the sacraments. Padre Pio told an American soldier during WWII, “When the war is over and you return to the United States, tell the American people that for those who would like me to be their spiritual father, my answer is yes. I accept all Americans as my spiritual children. I only have two requirements-that they lead very good Catholic lives and that they regularly receive the sacraments.”

    I asked Padre Pio in 1993 to be my spiritual father and he appeared to my son in a dream, and gave him a very long sword to fight the fallen angels flying above him, on the hilt of the sword, it was crystal and carved in the hilt was the Last Supper! the hilt was crystal and very brilliant...

You have helped me so much in my religious life that I can’t even say. I went to confession and told things I believed would go to grace with me. Now I have to work on going to church every week. I have been scared since I did that confession. I also want to do regular confessions that you lead us through on First Friday’s and First Saturday’s. I also don’t believe I would have made it through the deaths of my grandson, my daughter, my sister, and my mother if I had not been learning our faith through you and Fr. Mike Schmitz and the Marian Helpers in chaplet and rosary. Thank you with all of my heart. Pam Sindlinger ❤

    St Pio is one awesome saint! I was at the National Shrine of St Pio in Barto, PA before it was consecrated and many times after. The family picked that property because it was as close to how it looked where St Giovanni Rotunda was located. You will love it! You will know it is sacred ground!!
    They have in their museum St. Pio’ s car, a replica of how his cell looked, and many other personal items of St Pio. In addition, you will see in the museum St JP II’s Chalice of the one he used at the Mass celebrating St Pio’s sainthood in Rome. It’s a masterpiece. What a gift of Faith this beautiful place is. I encourage all who can, go. Your soul will be nourished by Christ’s Peace, His Love and Mercy. Without a doubt, your Prayers will be answered then or in time.
    Jesus, I trust in you.

Our sweet priest got mixed up and gave my husband Padre Pio as his patron saint too haha. Im 25 but have been sick many years with Lyme disease, mold toxicity and other issues. I wasnt healed all at once but I have great hope Im being healed one step at a time! I feel the best I have in years and have made good progress in treatment. I really believe Padre Pio was praying and suffering for mine and my husbands conversion. We had grown up so lukewarm in our protestant faith and were so far from God, we had so many miracles along the way. Our Lady had a very special hand in it all. Our lives are still being changed and healed through the sacraments, so very thankful! 🤍 Your talks are such a blessing Father, God bless!
