2.) BORE THE WITH THE WOUNDS OF OUR LORD:

 

    On September 23, the Church celebrates the feast of an Italian Capuchin priest who gave us a living testimony to Christ's Passion St. Pio of Pietrelcina.

 

    Padre Pio, one of the most beloved 20th Century saints, bore the wounds of Christ, known as the stigmata, on his hands, feet, and side for 50 years. His wounds bled continuously and sometimes had the scent of roses. With his stigmata serving as a visible reminder of the sufferings of Jesus. St. Pio taught countless people about the self-giving love of Our Lord.

 

    In addition to the miracle of the stigmata, St. Pio could read hearts in the confessional, as well as bi locate, which means that he was occasionally present in two places at once. These miracles are well-documented, often from people who were initially trying to discredit him, but then came to realize that he was genuine.

 

    Padre Pio's great physical,emotional, spiritual suffering always pointed him toward Jesus. St. Pio once said, "The Christian's motto is the cross. You will recognize God's love by this sign, by the sufferings He sends you."

 

    His union with Christ also made him very devoted to the Mother of Our Lord. With a rosary always in hand, St. Pio encouraged people to seek our the Blessed Mother. He said, "Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today."

 

    The love that Padre Pio has for our Lord and the Blessed Mother was especially evident on the day of his death, as he kept repeating, "Gesu, Maria" (Jesus, Mary). At one point, he said, "I see two mothers," which that he saw both his earthly mother and Mary. And then with his final breath before dying, he whispered, "Maria!"

 

    In his life, he lived for Jesus and Mary and witnessed to their love. In his death, he did the same. And may we follow in his footsteps by having the names of Jesus and Mary ever on our lips and in our hearts.

Respectfully yours,
