The Blessed Padre Pio

Blessed Padre Pio

The Blessed Padre Pio, a Franciscan Capuchin friar and priest carried the wounds of the stigmata for more than 50 years of his life. The wounds on his hands, feet and side were said to have had a pleasant smell, but cause Padre Pio great pain which he willingly endured. However, he was embarrassed of the visible wounds due the attention they created. He was examined many times, by many doctors; and the Vatican actually tried to suppress the news of his stigmata for a period of time. 

In 1919 Luigi Romanelli, a Chief Physician said of the wounds upon hands;  

The injuries he presents; two hands are covered with a brown-red membrane, with no bleeding points, no edema and no inflammatory reactions in the surrounding tissues. 

I am sure that those wounds are not superficial because, by applying the thumb in the palm of the hand and the index finger on the back and applying pressure, one has the exact perception of the existing void."

Daily Confession  

Padre Pio was known to spend as much as 18 hours a day in the confessional, and people came from all around to have this good friar hear their confession, or to be healed of an affliction. It was said he would know if you forgot to mention a specific sin during the confession. Padre Pio also had the gift of reading souls and the ability to bio-locate among other gifts such as prophecy from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Attacks of Satan 

Padre Pio also had early life visions and was attacked viscously by Satan through his life as a friar and priest This left him bursed, battered and weaken from the attacks that would last for extended periods of time. Other friars would report hearing his struggles with satan during the night and noted that these attacks where frequent.  

Devotion to the Holy Mother 

Padre Pio was always seen with his Rosary and was devoted to the adoration of the Holy Mother and reciting the Holy Rosary, with the Mediations of the Christ. He once said:

The person who meditates and turns his mind to God, who is the mirror of his soul, seeks to know his faults, tries to correct them, moderates his impulses, and puts his conscience in order. 

Saint Padre Pio   

As with other Saints, Padre Pio had made a commitment during his life to help mankind when he went to Heaven. He has appeared to me when making confessions through the Holy Rosary and when a blessing/sacred healing are taking place through the Holy Mother. He does not show his wounds in any of appearance, nor does he speak frequently. He is called The Holy Confessor and I do ask him to intercede on my behalf, to seek forgiveness from the Lord. 

Your Confession   

If you are un-sure of your sins or the nature of your sins, ask God to reveal your sins to you or ask the Holy Mother to reveal them during the Holy Rosary. Your sins will surely be revealed to you, please have faith in this, and be patient. God may be teaching you a lesion that you must learn, and He may not answer your prayer right away, it may take a little time.     

If there are known sins, things that you have carried in your heart or things you have yet to confess. I would always tell you to seek out a confessor, someone you can trust and to also publish your sins as Solomon published his sin. Be honest with a contrite heart for you are actually speaking to the Holy Spirit, for many sins are an offence to His innocence and purity. 

So truly contemplate in your heart those things which you have done, the meditations of your heart are sins of purity of the heart, the thoughts of your mind are sins ageist the great consciousness of God and the purity of thought, and the deeds of your hands are sins ageist his Holy Son that he sent into the world. These are karmic sins because you manifested them in the world of form, you committed an act. See Universal Laws and Love Thy Brother As Thy Self.

Contrition of Heart  

If you are aware of your sins, and truly do not know how and in what way you may have sinned (contemplate your sins and their nature) and are asking for forgiveness. Please do ask this Modern Day Saint, Padre Pio for help as your Holy Confess and to intercede on your behalf. 

As I have been instructed in the past for errors of benevolence, God has asked me to pray to the Lord Christ to intercede on my behalf and for the Lord to pray for forgiveness of my sins to the Holy Spirit. Also at the same time I was also instructed to ask the Holy Mother for her prayers to the Holy Spirit for forgiveness of my sins. So please call on the Lord Christ or the Holy Mother for help when seeking forgiveness.      

The Words of Christ 

The words of Christ regarding sin is very clear in the Bible, where he states that sins ageist the Father, and ageist the Son will be forgiven. But sins ageist the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Matthew 12:32 KVJ   States: “who every speaks ageist the Holy Ghost .it will not be forgiven him”. Some would define this as Blasphemy, as the spoken word ageist the Spirit of God. Yet it is much more than this, for this means not having reverence for God and the Holy Spirit which is pure in love, and of pure love and power, pure innocence, pure in spirit, and purity of existence that cannot be corrupted.  So, Measure your offenses with a proper perspective.
