Miracoli ed eventi soprannaturali
Il profumo della protezione
A poco più di 7 anni, mentre era studente nel convento di Sant'Elia a Pianisi, Fra Pio visse la prima esperienza di bilocazione, che lui stesso raccontò: «Mi ritrovai lontano in una casa signorile, dove il padre moriva mentre una bimba nasceva. Mi apparve allora Maria santissima che mi disse: "Affido a te questa creatura; è una pietra preziosa allo stato grezzo, lavorala, levigala, rendila il più lucente possibile, perché un giorno voglio adornarmene". (...) Soggiunse: "Non dubitare, sarà lei che verrà da you, but before the encounter in St. Peter's in Rome. 'As foretold by Our Lady of course, came true: Joan Rizzani, the name of the woman, a student went to the Vatican Basilica and confessed with a cappuccino (also there in the bi- ), then acknowledged that when he came to San Giovanni Rotondo, becoming one of the most devout spiritual daughters.
was so routine bi-Padre Pio for the administrator of Home Relief, the Commendatore Angelo Battisti, when they leave in the evening wishing him good night he answered: "Good night and holy to you, my son, because for me it begins another day ...»." But, Father, then when asleep? "he asked once Battisti. He said, "If I sleep 5:00 to 6:00 hours per year is already too much." And Paulinus Casacalenda father, who wondered how the bi happen and if he was aware of the protagonist, Padre Pio said almost absently, "He knows what he wants, knows where it goes, but does not know if it is only with the mind, or body and soul. "
Among the most striking episodes that have been learned, there are two appearances at the General Luigi Cadorna, the Commander of the Italian army in World War I, and the Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty, Archbishop of Budapest in 1949 condemned to life imprisonment by the communist regime. The first, after the defeat of Kobarid in 1917, was contemplating suicide when he saw the tent a monk who spoke in the name of God and called to put away the gun. Years later, having seen a picture of Padre Pio in a newspaper, rushed to San Giovanni Rotondo and was told by the Father: "General, you have a narrow escape that night." The second, while he was imprisoned, he received a visit Padre Pio's cell, which had brought everything needed for the celebration of the Mass and served as an altar boy.
sign of the presence and spiritual closeness of Padre Pio was his famous perfume, that still happens to some devotees of perceiving. Dr. Ernesto Paita, who had experience on several occasions, described scents' of various flowers, many unknown, and aromas of herbs and plants of the countryside and mountains, resin and wood of all kinds, always very fine and delicate, now soft, now strong, so intense at times almost breath-taking ' . A father Giambattista Colavita, who asked for an explanation, Padre Pio said that the scent "and God always protect and assist those who feel."
When Padre Pio passed through the crowd, was bombarded with requests for advice about pressing questions. Father Eusebio night noted that his answers "on which often depended on a life, the future, the fate of a person, arrived promptly and with great spontaneity. Almost always accompanied from exhortation, an encouragement, a reprimand, an incentive to change their lives. Frequent were the same situations where they received different answers. For example: "Father, can I marry?". Answer: "Who you waiting for?" Or: "Yes, if you're willing to be a nurse all my life." In similar cases, "Father, can I work?". And Padre Pio:
"Get the doctor," or "If you want to kill ...". However, when Padre Pio was not "enlightened", had the honesty and humility to understand it, in which case and promised prayers, addressed to the person, said: "We hope, pray, put pressure on the Heart of God!" . In the first
tempi della vita, Padre Pio considerava gli eventi soprannaturali come una cosa ordinaria, che credeva fossero percepiti da tutte le anime. Padre Agostino da San Marco in Lamis, nel suo Diario, racconta che un giorno Padre Pio gli disse «E lei non vede la Madonna?»; e alla sua risposta negativa soggiunse: «Lei lo dice per santa umiltà». In particolare, durante la permanenza di Padre Pio nel convento di Venafro, proprio a padre Agostino capitò di assistere a numerose estasi del Padre, durante le quali egli parlava con Gesù, la Madonna, san Francesco e altri santi.
Ma la visione più commovente era per lui quella di Gesù Bambino, di cui almeno due persone furono testimoni privilegiati. Nella notte dal 19 al September 20, 1919, by Father Raffaele Sant'Elia Pianisi, who was visiting the monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo, could not sleep:
Towards midnight I get up out of bed, almost frightened. The corridor was in darkness, broken only by the dim light of a little light oil, and here goes Padre Pio, who was returning from choir where he had been praying, all bright with baby Jesus on her arms. " Same experience happened on the evening of December 24, 1922 at Iadanza spiritual daughter Lucia, who saw the father stopped near a window, "Suddenly, in a halo of light appeared and stopped the Child Jesus in the arms of Padre Pio, the whose face became as radiant "
