Saint Padre Pio's incorrupt
body on public display in San Giovanni Rotondo Italy, certainly reinforces
belief in God and the existence of the after life in paradise.
God blessed Padre Pio, a
humble Capuchin priest from San Giovanni Rotondo, in many wonderful and
mysterious ways. The most dramatic was the stigmata. Padre Pio bore the wounds
of Christ for fifty years! Padre Pio, who died in 1968 at age 81, bore a
"stigmata," or wounds like those that Jesus, suffered at his
crucifixion, on his hands and feet. He was made a saint in 2002.
Church officials exhumed
the body in 2008 and they said there was no sign of the so-called stigmata on
his limbs after an initial examination, and that the body was in good
condition.
Padre Pio pray for us!
