Miracle Through St. Padre Pio's Intercession

Hi! I look forward to sharing with you each week about Saint Padre Pio.

Today I want to encourage you to ask him to intercede for you and your loved ones, for anything you need. He is always ready to help us, and he is so powerful because his power comes from the Ruler of All Nature: Jesus Christ. Amen. To give you further encouragement, to go to Saint Padre Pio for his intercession, I have selected a true story—absolutely true—about a real miracle obtained from God through the intercession of Saint Padre Pio. As you read this true account, keep in mind that often, after someone asks for Padre Pio’s intercession, they will smell the most beautiful and sweet aroma that seems to have no natural source. It is a sign that he has heard their prayer and will answer.

“Miss Giuseppina Marchetti of Bologna, Italy, age 24,” wrote Francesco Napolitano in his book Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, “had fractured her right arm, the very arm that had been injured in a serious accident three years previous. She had had to undergo surgery. After a second operation, which was followed by long, painful therapy, the surgeon told the young lady’s father that she would never regain the use of her arm....

“Despondent, both father and daughter left for San Giovanni Rotondo, [where Padre Pio’s monastery home is located],” continued Francesco. “Padre Pio received them, blessed them, and declared: ‘Above all, no despondency! Have faith in the Lord! The arm will heal.’ That was the end of July, 1930. The sick girl returned to Bologna without even the slightest sign of improvement. ‘No doubt,’ thought the girl, ‘Padre Pio was mistaken!’”

Months passed, and on September 17 of that same year, suddenly Giuseppina Marchetti’s apartment was flooded with a sweet and delightful aroma that seemed to have no natural source. “The phenomenon,” said Francesco Napolitano, “lasted about a quarter of an hour, while the surprised tenants searched in vain for its source.

“On that day, the girl regained the use of her arm,” declared Francesco. “An X-ray, which she carefully treasures, shows the restoration of the bone and cartilage [which the doctors had said would never heal].”

Do you have a condition, a need, a problem, a misery that seems incurable, that seems beyond hope? Take your problems to Saint Padre Pio. He will intercede for you with Jesus. Have faith in the Ruler of All Nature. He still works miracles—and very often through His Saints, like St. Padre Pio.

Amen!


Now, I wanted to share with you the good news: the publication of my latest book about Saint Padre Pio. It’s in a series called the “Listening to God” series published by Our Sunday Visitor. God in his great mercy uses me, and if He can use me, He can use anyone, including you, my dear friend! And may I also add that God uses me, through the intercession of St. Padre Pio, my Holy Guardian Angel, and the Mother of God. May He continue to always use me, for His glory and for His good pleasure. In Jesus’ Most Precious Name I pray, amen.

LISTENING TO GOD WITH PADRE PIO

Compiled by Eileen Dunn Bertanzetti
In his great love for everyone, St. Padre Pio felt
everyone's pain, whether moral, physical, or mental.
He wanted to share their pain and help to
alleviate it through his intercessory prayers,
through his gifts of healing and
reading of souls, and through his own
endless suffering from the ever-bleeding stigmata.
