Padre Pio Pray for Us, Poor Banished Children of Eve
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
St Padre Pio pray for us.
I’m amazed that the mercy of Our Lord and Our Mother’s unfailing Hope for mankind is allowing us another day. The chastisements, be they man made or of natural origin, seem to be on the increase.
The Pius one said not to worry, but to pray and trust.
I just came across this excerpt from a Fatima article this morning;
-For it was the people of Noah’s time that were punished by a flood for taking human life, and it was Sodom and Gomorrah that were punished by fire from the sky for their “sins of the flesh,” especially “sodomy” which is the name given to homosexual acts (Gen. 6-9; 18-19). The threat was an echo of St. Paul’s teaching in the New Testament that “God’s wrath” is coming upon all those who practice “sexual immorality, impurity, and lust” and especially “unnatural lust” or homosexuality activity (Col. 3:5-5; Rom. 18-28). So, “God’s wrath” comes down upon the world when murder and sexual impurity—especially homosexual acts—become rampant. Why? Probably because these violations of life and love will bring the world to an end if allowed to continue.-
The author makes a guess that the world will end due to the behavior of sinful man, but it will be an end of an era. This era must end. The children are slaughtered and the ones who survive, many of them, are taught that sexual deviancy is a healthy choice, a respectable thing.
The end to this era is nearing.
Thank God.
St. Pio recommends the Rosary.
He is right on. Daily Rosary.
We belong to God.
An amazing life.
Within hours of his death on this day 53 years ago, the sacred stigmata on his hands and in his side gradually disappeared, marks which had been beyond questioning palpably there for over four decades and clearly visible in public, so much so that Padre Pio was ordered to wear white glovelets — partly to reduce curiosity, but also to stop the droplets of blood which continually flowed . The only sign left of the wounds after a few hours as they prepared his body was a slight red mark on his side “as if by red pencil”according to one of the assisting friars.
A disturbing sign of contradiction to this present age of “dead faith and triumphant impiety “ (from the novena prayer to Our Lady of Pompeii).
His life was one long miracle Steve. If he had lived in the Middle Ages present historians would ridicule miracles which we have solid evidence for.
