to this back in the early 1930s during the time when accusations were rampant against poio a new book titled Padre of Pina The Herald of the Lord by Alberto Delante was published causing quite a stir you see at the time Delante was a well-known Mason and atheist who had previously attacked potero labeling him as a deceiver and a cunning man capable of fooling gullible people he repeatedly slandered ptero in the Articles he wrote for the Italian newspaper Italia laa however something extraordinary happened that changed his life forever delant perspective began to change when his nephew
enrio to whom he was very attached fell seriously ill with kidney abscesses and symptoms of bone and Pulmonary tuberculosis the child's life was in danger two of tant's relatives desperate for help visited potero and asked for his intercession Upon returning home they said that pter had assured them to remain calm saying everything would turn out well as you can imagine Delante was skeptical he promised that if the child was cured he would personally go and thank P Pio well shortly after the child was suddenly ly and unexpectedly healed true to his word he went to
meet ptero and recorded all his Impressions deceiver or Saint he asked himself from the moment he arrived his initial impression was that he was dealing with a priest like any other delant wrote I confessed without faith without enthusiasm as if I were standing be before a priest like any other however one thing impressed me that man knew my sins he then shares his experience he told me that I belonged to an association that recognizes God but does not accept his ministers perhaps my way of failing made him understand that I was a Freemason we discussed
at length about philosophy which replaces Faith with conscience we reviewed St Augustine Spinosa deart steuart Mill Spencer and other modern philosophers in the end I said to him father I have always try to guide my actions towards good and if sometimes the animal triumphs over the man my conscience soon warned me do this do not do that I never had Faith but this did not prevent me from being honest honest questioned the father honest do you remember this and that and he began to reveal details that he could not have possibly known but the surprises
didn't end there before leaving San giovan Rondo Delante ask for prayers for his wife who was about to have another child certainly certainly replied ptero God said be fruitful and multiply and then he asked but will your wife have milk for the little one who is about to be born Delante was left speechless by this question this was precisely what he intended to ask ptero poter continued she will have milk indeed it is right for a mother to breastfeed her baby especially since for the last two you had to hire a wet nurse after saying
these words poio walked to the door of the sacy leaving Delante dumbfounded how was it possible for him to know these details he wondered this encounter marked the beginning of Del fant's internal transformation despite his initial resistance Delan began to visit poio regularly he documented his gradual conversion writing about the intense internal battle he faced I fought I cried with rage ultimately delant sincerity led him to fully embrace the faith this is is how he described his conversion I was a Freemason an atheist I didn't believe in anything P gave me a new life from
every point of view today I pray I go to church on Sundays I am happy to see my children make the sign of the cross before meals to thank God for the bread he provides us now I receive the sacraments and rejoice while I await communion he who has the courage to embrace Faith understands my happiness God grants everything to those who love him Del fantes conversion story Echoes that of St Paul who was also sincere in his error before his conversion underrot to Damascus both men though initially opposed to the faith experienced profound Transformations
due to their encounters with Holiness dant's conversion led him to become the official chronicler of San Jovan Rondo in his book from doubt to Faith Delante collected testimonies from 47 people who had experienced pter pe's blessings supporting his accounts with medical certificates his work paved the way for many more conversions dant's life story highlights the incredible impact ptero had on those who encountered him turning doubt into faith and hostility into devotion something only a true Saint could achieve end of story thank you so much for watching your support means the world to us please take
