P Rio was the reason that numerous individuals embraced Christianity and strengthened their faith in Jesus Christ he was a revered Saint who was bestowed with a sacred Stigmata and he bore these wounds with dignity and humility despite a life marked by pain and suffering he endured everything in silence Guided by his unwavering Devotion to Jesus Christ however one can only imagine what transpired in the moments before his passing as astonishingly Jesus Christ himself appeared and talked to padrao just before his demise do uncover the mysterious message conveyed by Jesus Christ you saying padrao you might
want to watch this video until the very end it was in 1918 that padrio experienced Stigmata for the very first time with wounds appearing on his hands and feet one morning after celebrating Mar and feeling drowsy a deep sense of Stillness overcame him in this this moment he felt an overwhelming that erased all other Sensations suddenly a mysterious figure similar to one he had seen in 1913 appeared before him but this time the figure's hands feet and side were bleeding this side terrified padrao and he felt an Indescribable sensation almost as if he would die
however through divine intervention his heart was strengthened and he did not perish and this is where it starts to get interesting after the vision vanished Padia realized that his own hands feet and side were also bleeding the Stigmata in which he shared the wounds of Christ were a gift bestowed upon him by the Lord these wounds served as a sign of his credibility as a Confessor and a man with the ability to discern Souls people were drawn to padrepio because of the Stigmata and the Lord used this phenomenon to guide individuals away from sinful paths
and difficult situations towards the hope of Resurrection in the solemn days preceding padia's death in 1968 the circumstances he faced must have been the most peculiar in his entire existence the visible wounds which had defined his identity for 50 years became so ingrained within him that recollecting a time without them must have proved arduous however as padrio approached the end of his Earthly Journey the wound on his hand and feet and side began to close he had received these wounds on the morning of September 20th 1918 half a century later on September 20th 1968 after
several days of gradual fading they disappeared entirely the wounds remained only with padrao whether visible or concealed they were an integral part of his very being did you know that Jesus appeared to Pia for the first time in 1913 5 years before pad received the Stigmata you might want to pay close attention now in a letter to another priest he described the distressing vision that unfolded before him Padia was still in bed on a Friday morning when Jesus appeared to him but this time something was different Jesus appeared battered and disfigured a sight that pained
P's heart as padrio looked on Jesus showed him a vast multitude of both regular and second including many ecclesiastical dignitaries some were celebrating Mass some were putting on their sacred vestments and others were taking them off but what caught Pia's attention and brought tears to his eyes was Jesus's gaze upon those priests two tears rolled down Jesus's cheeks and it was clear that he was in distress with great disgust on his face Jesus moved away from the crowd of priests and called them butchers why would he call the priests as butchers his reason though was
heartbreaking Jesus was expressing his disappointment in how these priests were handling their sacred duties then Jesus turned to Padia and spoke directly to him he said my son do not think that my Agony only lasted 3 hours no I will be in agony until the end of the world because of the souls I have blessed the most these words conveyed the Eternal weight of Jesus's suffering for Humanity Jesus continued revealing the pain he felt during his Agony he emphasized the importance of not sleeping during this critical time Jesus longed for even a drop of human
compassion but he felt abandoned under the weight of people's indifference the ingratitude and indifference of his ministers made his Agony even more burdensome Jesus lamented how poorly his love was reciprocated and how people added contempt and disbelief to their indifference he even admitted at times he was attempted to strike them if it weren't for the intervention of loving angels and souls and this is where it gets really shocking in the first ever letter after receiving the Stigmata he explained everything that happened to him in detail and this was what he said on the morning of
the 20th of the last month in the choir after I celebrated Mass I beheld before me a mysterious figure resembling the one I had seen on the evening of August 5th the only distinction was that his hands feet and side oozed blood the sight filled me with Terror And the emotions I experienced at that moment are Beyond description I believed I might perish and surely would have had the Lord not intervened fortifying my heart that felt as though it would burst from my chest the vision dissipated and I became aware that my hands feet inside
were dripping blood imagine the agony I Endure which persists almost every day the wound in my heart bleeds incessantly particularly from thst evening until Saturday dear father I am consumed by the pain caused by these wounds and the resulting anguish it inflicts upon my soul I fear that I may bleed to death unless the Lord heeds my fervent plea to relieve me of this condition will Jesus who is so benevolent grant me this Grace will he at the very least liberate me from the embarrassment brought forth by these outward signs I will raise my voice
and beseech him un seizing until in his Mercy he removes these visible marks that cause me such humiliation and unbearable shame out of all the people in the world Jesus chose Padre Pio to gift him his wounds for the next 50 years he bore these wounds and the suffering that came with it this is where things take a sudden turn following an arduous Mars on September 22nd 1968 at the age of 81 St PPO frail and exhausted needed assistance from his fellow Franciscan Brothers to reach his bed in the early hours of September 23rd after
confessing and renewing his vows he managed to utter the names Jesus and Mary while Hing a rosary despite his weakened State a slight Improvement in his condition was observed around 2:30 a.m. although those present did not witness anything extraordinary it seemed as if the saint who had experienced numerous Supernatural occurrences throughout his life was perceiving something unseen summoning his strength he whispered I see two mothers and softly said Maria before passing away the nature of his vision remains a mystery one possibility is that he referred to his spiritual mother the Virgin Mary and his biological
mother the church itself is often symbolized as a mother though how this manifestation oet is unclear while it may seem likely that his final word Maria referred to the Blessed Virgin it worth noting that his biological mother's name was also Maria another Mystic Sister Rita Monella who had a close relationship with fatherio claimed to have assisted him through biolo during his final moments according to her testimony she believed that the Virgin Mary St Francis and St CLA were present in his room at the time of his passing this suggests that when Padre mentioned Maria he
may have been referring to the Virgin Mary in any case it is fitting that a man whose life was filled with Supernatural encounters would conclude his Earthly Journey with a mystical Vision Padre pio's celebration of mass was renowned often lasting up to 3 hours for him the M was a profound engagement of his entire being representing the Pinnacle of his day and the source of his inner strength starting his day at 330 a.m. he dedicated the early hours to meditation and prayer preparing his heart for the holy MK when the time came to preside over
the Mars Padia was deeply moved he immersed himself in The Passion of Christ understanding the significance of his actions it was no wonder that he displayed strong emotions during Mars occasionally shedding tears his countenance alternating between pale and radiant his devotion was intense occasionally accompanied by silent sobs and bodily contractions every aspect of his demeanor reflected his profound connection to The Passion of Christ as as if the barrier between the Altar and Calvary had been lifted moreover Padre's meticulous attention to every detail of the mass from the rubrics to consecration contributed to the length of
his ceremonies he approached each element with meditation personally invested in every action reciting the Liturgy with emotional resonance he enunciated each word distinctly the consecration held special significance for padrio often spending addition time in adoration of the consecrated Bread and Wine in his later years his masses were shorter due to his declining Health lasting around an hour this serves as a reminder that the mass is more than meets the eye it transports us to Calvary where we encounter Jesus Christ Our Lord but this is where things get even more interesting throughout his life St Pia
witnessed to evils of the world enduring the violence and animosity of two world wars yet in the face of aders it his Devotion to the mass remained unwavering it continued to connect him to Calvary where he encountered Jesus Christ Our Lord that's not all Padre was an Ardent believer of the Virgin Mary and spent most of his time with the rosary it provided him strength with each passing day however padrao and his deep Devotion to the Virgin Mary was not new found from a young age his love for Mary was unwavering and grew stronger throughout
his life P's affection for Mary was evident in his daily routine as he would pray the rosary whenever he had a free moment he always carried the rosary with him either holding it or keeping it close by one of the capucines who assisted him recalled how Padia would wash his hands making sure to keep one hand free to hold his Rosary he once said that some people foolishly believe that they can navigate life without the help of the Blessed Mother but he knew that the rosary was a powerful weapon against the world's evils pipio fervently
prayed the Rosary every day and even kept a few under his pillow on a night when he couldn't find his rosaries he urgently called for someone to bring him his weapon for pad Rio the rosary was not just a string of prayers but a heartfelt offering to his beloved mother in heaven he had a profound love for the Virgin Mary and relied on her during times of trial pad believed in the Blessed Mother's powerful intercession which could heal both Body and Soul he encouraged others to persevere in praying the rosary daily believing that anything is
possible when it's done devoutly and with the heart P Rio was truly one of the most blessed Saints in the Catholic Community his connection with God was so deep that God felt like sharing his wounds with him while we may not possess the same level of worthiness as Padia to Bear the Stigmata let us entreat our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us the strength and courage necessary to draw near to the sacrament of holy communion and strive to become better individuals than we were in the past
