Deepertruth: Stand In The Gap With Us and Saint Padre Pio

Stand In The Gap With Us and Saint Padre Pio9/23/2023

St. Padre Pio is one of the more influential Saints that had a particular influence for me because of all the signs related to his life. He is also someone who I can identify with as he lived during my growing up years. Padre Pio touches the hearts of people world wide many times will recognize a fragrance of flowers. I remember working at a warehouse pulling a hand jack picking up pallets all day long. My Mother introduced me to Padre Pio through a book she had and that book captivated me.

At times, especially when I was thinking about a mystery of the Rosary, or I was thinking about the Catholic faith, I would get a strong scent of roses and I would be looking around for any possible reason for such a fragrance. Then I would remember that many times Padre Pio would be recognized with such occurrences. Working at this warehouse, I most of the time had time to offer my thoughts to God in meditation.
