Padre Pio and Pope Pius XI: A Mysterious Encounter

Gabriel Awards, Catholic Media Association. Second Place Winner, Short Film 2021.

in 2002 Padre Pio visited me in a dream and blessed my womb.
My son had not moved for days and I was frightened given my age and previous issues carrying to term.
At the time I did not know of Padre Pio, or just barely if so in passing, however no knowledge whatsoever of his stigmata or abilities of healing. When I told my mother she gave me a book on him.
We found out at the age of about 11 months when my son started to walk that he was born with a condition called hemihypertrophy. We wound up having to have him scanned every few months for a couple of years to make sure he had not developed any tumors that can be common with children of this condition. I truly believe that because of Padre Pio’s intervention he was born healthy.
Although he did have a few complications through the growing years, and at one point had to have his leg broken in three places to grow almost 3 inches. However he is now healed. I named him in his honor and gratitude. ❤️

“Pray, Hope, and do not worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayers.” - Padre Pio

To think that he wasn't allowed to say public mass and confessions for 10 years! And he submitted to all this with humility but great suffering

The greatest miracle Padre Pío made in my life was to restore my faith in God and the Catholic church. I once heard an exorcist priest saying that after the blessed mother, Padre Pío and John Paul II are two of the saints demons fear the most–when the priest asked the demons why they fear Padre Pío that much they answered he is an abundant source of faith.

Saint Padre Pio had to endure so much in his life, including jealousy from some of his fellow friars. But God permitted this suffering for the Good of souls.

Padre Pio is one of my favorites Saints. He loved Jesus above all else. Viva Cristo Rei!
