friend and now to our story today's story is sourced from the book ptter Pio a man a saint By Angelo Maria melli in this book we find a story about one of Popo's sisters gratiela foron like ptero she too felt the the calling to religious life however imagine this she decided to abandon her Convent after 47 years but let's start from the beginning ptero was closely involved in his sister's acceptance into The bridin Sisterhood in fact he was the one who wrote a letter to the Convent in January 1917 when graciella was 22 years old
requesting her admission the Mother Superior now known as sa Mary Elizabeth Hasselblad responded by welcoming graa to the noviciate furthermore pipio even accompanied his sister to the bridgin convent they traveled together to Rome by train and grella was given the name sister Pia Del adata so as you can see pad played a vital role in his sister's religious life however years later in 1964 Grail and PPO had a very difficult conversation you see grila expressed her desire to leave their religious life we learn about this from the testimony given by their niece P penelli who
was the daughter of their brother Michelle P Pinelli says that after their conversation both ptero and gratella felt unwell now we don't know for sure what was troubling gratella perhaps it was her living conditions or maybe there were some other issues involved regardless pob advis her not to forsake her calling and urged her to address the issues with the Mother Superior however his counsel fell on deaf ears in the spring of 1965 just one year after their conversation gratiela left the convent at the age of 71 along with another religious sister despite her clear vocation
to religious life gratiela could no longer endure the Convent in which she had spent 47 years of her life learning of his sister's departure PPO felt devastated not out of concern for his own reputation but out of deep concern for his sister's Soul pad begged gratiela to return to her Convent or to at least try to join a different Convent however she remained Resolute in her decision not to return so for the time being they found a place for her to stay it is said that during this time of uncertainty regarding grella's future padrio felt
a constant headache he described it as if a needle pierced his head but thankfully this torment did not last too long Potter's Brothers the capan Friars took initiative and contacted their friends in Rome and in the beginning of 1966 graciella was welcomed into the religious order of the sisters of mercy upon receiving the news that his sister was now cared for thanks to Father Clemente the apostolic administrator pter expressed his relief and emotion finally the nightmare that deeply troubled pter came to an end end of story I'd like to take a moment to thank the
