Saint Padre Pio, pray for us 🙏

On this day, we commemorate the life and everlasting vestiges of St. Pius of Pietrelcina, whom we commonly refer to as Padre Pio: a humble Capuchin friar whose intense devout life, charismata, and unwavering faith still ignite the flame of inspiration in millions throughout the world. Born Francesco Forgione, he bore the stigmata of Christ and helped in laboring for souls in offering the sacrament of confession, ministration, and divine hope to all who came seeking help. His love for the Eucharistic presence, deep prayer life, and loving care for the sick translate to a quick reflection on the power holiness possesses if lived with simplicity.
May the example of his life bring us closer to Christ, and may his intercession bring peace to troubled hearts. 🙏✨
