Stigmata of Padre Pio Compared to Saint Francis’ Stigmata For those that don’t know about Saint Pio, he bore the sacred stigmata (five wounds of Christ) in his body for exactly 50 years and then died. These unexplainable wounds were verified by skeptics, doctors, and scientists. I made a short video comparing the stigmata of Saint Pio to the stigmata of Saint Francis. The stigmata of one saint differed from the other. Here’s my video on the topic. If you cannot see this second video in your email or browser, please. Placing the stigmata aside, Saint Pio’s life is filled with sanctity, heroic act, and profound love for Christ and his neighbor. Did you like this post?

Actor and film producer Joe Mantegna has announced that his next project will be a film on. Is Pio a new Saint Francis for our time? You can leave a comment. My dad introduced me to Padre Pio in 1969. Many times throughout my life I petitioned him for favors and received them almost immediately. In the mid 90s-early 2000s, for about 7 years, I worked in a Catholic book and gift shop and bought up every book on or by him(letters) that I could get my hands on. I have read many. I have a very old video of his last Mass as well. I am also enrolled as his spiritual child. You asked about what it is like to see a saint on film. My grand daughter, who is home schooled, 10th grade, was doing her religion when your email came in and I called her in to see the video. She was mesmerized by what she was seeing. Of course, as always, I was shedding tears. She told me even before I got the email that she’d asked Padre Pio to help her with her studies before she started today. Thanks for posting this •. I wonder sometimes about what Catholic explanation ought to be given to the fact that the miracles of saints could be more easily verified or witnessed today than at any other time, yet are all the more noticeably absent. Consider, for instance, St. Joseph of Cupertino. According to the story he regularly levitated high into the air, to the witness of the public. One such mystic today could be videotaped by any one of the 9 million iPhones just sold. Yet none is found. What do you make of this? Why would God work miracles (beyond the every-day ones which we tend to overlook or put down to coincidence, luck, etc) where nearly all have rejected Him? An age of mass apostasy and godlessness doesn’t deserve either saints or miracles. Though of course great saints will be raised in the final persecution which maybe some of us will live to see. As for great miracles, there are plenty one can witness even today how about the several still ongoing Eucharistic miracles that have been scientifically tested and verified? No sane person could doubt those any more – yet how many believe? Even the greatest miracle will not convince those who don’t want to believe. Having watched this footage before, it is a really comforting to see a living Saint with human emotion and even a temper! His Stigmata would have been very painful, however I feel he had the invisible cross and stigmata of constantly being followed by crowds and cameras, to which he flicks his habit cord in frustration. I knew a Franciscan Priest who had his cell two doors up from Padre Pio, and what he heard during the night was frightful, the Devil was so angry at him for helping souls to heaven, he sometimes would not let padre pio sleep. One particular Saintly quality that always stands out regarding Padre Pio was his ability to follow obedience toward his superiors, an amazing Saint for our times. I do lack humility and many other virtues. I apologise for my condescending impatience. However, l maintain that it is OK to have an inquiring mind when it comes to such phenomena as stigmata,levitations etc. There is faith and then there is credulity. Catholics are not required to believe everything that is purported to be true only those matters connected with Revelation as the Church has received and transmitted it. With respect to Roman crucifixtion, your argument seems to be an argument from silence. Also it is circular:”These saints had their wounds in their hands therefore Christ must have been crucified that way.” •. In 2 other places, email and youtube, I asked about the priest and why did you say beware of priests in neckties at the end of the stigmata video but nevermind.I think that I just ‘got’ it. The VERY NEXT article that I went to from a different email from a different blog had a link that I clicked on and LO AND BEHOLD, there was a priest in a necktie standing at a podium with a CALL TO ACTION sign on the front of it. Catholics are NOT supposed to participate in Call to Action because it is inconsistent with Catholic teaching. So yeahbeware of priest in neckties because they are also probably ‘inconsistent with Catholic Teaching:(/ I have discovered that people who tout the’Spirit’ of Vatican II are often the ones who have misinterpreted and think all kinds of dissent to the pope and with Church teaching is OKAY. Which means they have not interpreted the documents on a way consistent with tradition t- with a ‘ hermeneutic of continuity’. The Flight of the Innocent director Carlo Carlei explores the life of Francesco Forgione, also known as Saint Padre Pio, in this made for television hagiography adapted from the book by Renzo Allegri. A Capuchin friar whose endless devotion would manifest itself in the appearance of stigmata wounds for over fifty years, Saint Padre Pio was responsible for a series of religious miracles that many sited as proof of God's existence in an era where spiritual skepticism was at an all time high.
