Today I am 38 years old, little Baby Joseph is 4 months old, and five years ago I proposed to Janet. But most notably, today is the feast of St. Padre Pio!
Padre Pio died on Sept 23, 1968, and was declared a saint by JPII on June 16, 2002.
My first introduction to Padre Pio was through my grandmother in the 1970's, who had a great devotion to him. My father had many videos and books about him, and so eventually I got to know more about him as I got older.
"The earth could exist more easily without the sun than
without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." - Padre Pio
The amazing stories about him are too numerous to list here. If you don't know about Padre Pio, do yourself a favor and learn more about this holy, mystic, beloved Saint!
