In life we face many hardships and illnesses, which sometimes seem impossible to bear. We should lean on these moments in the examples of the saints.

A great saint who carried throughout his life suffering and sickness, was Padre Pio of Pietrelcina.

Since childhood he suffered from many diseases, he survived by the grace of God. This was not all, he waspersecuted by the demon. Padre Pio was ordained a priest with great difficulty. Afterward  he was graced to receive the stigmata on his body of the Lord for over forty years.

In times of suffering and disease we must invoke the intercession of this great friend. Make the experience and witness.

St. Padre Pio Pray for us
