“Do you think that the stigmata are merely decorations?”
–St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, stigmatist
Images of Padre Pio’s body after his body has been exhumed. He is in his full habit and in some sort of glass case so the faithful can come and visit his place of rest. (which is really heaven, because “he” and we all, are more a soul than a body. so if he is at rest now then he would be in heaven and not where his body is… but i dogress…)
Brief on Padre Pio:
Padre Pio, a humble Capuchin priest from San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, was blessed by God in many wonderful and mysterious ways. The most dramatic was the stigmata. Padre Pio bore the wounds of Christ for fifty years!
Among his other gifts were perfume, bilocation, prophecy, conversion, reading of souls, and miraculous cures. People are still being cured through his intercession in ways that cannot be explained by medicine or science.
More important, if less spectacular, are the spiritual healings that take place in all parts of the world! Padre Pio is a powerful intercessor!!
Every one whether Catholic or not should check this guy out. amazing to say the least. But be sure to check the sources of information that you read. for an Imprimatur, which basically means what your reading is not heresy (Catholic Heresy).
(please disregard that i linked something about truth and non-heresy to a definition on wikipedia)
