Padre
Pio was born on 25 May 1887 in Petrelcina (Benevento, Italy), as Francesco Forgione, with
Sun in Gemini & Moon in Cancer, Ascendant in Scorpio (3.4.8), Pluto conjunct the Sun (Pluto Power) and died on 23 September 1968. He is a Catholic saint, recentlly canonized and most famous for his non-ordinary powers and
miraculous or controversial stories.
In 1818 he had his first stigmata, which
remained for the rest of his life. The blood flowing from the stigmata was said
to smell of perfume (odor of sanctity). He acquired great popularity as a
miraculous healer and for other skills, such as bilocation, soul reading and
foreseeing. He would hear confessions or celebrate a mass in the church, while
at the same time visiting sick people or hearing confessions in other places.
Padre
Pio had the capacity to direct healing energy by sending a part of himself in a
multidimensional frequency, which allowed him to be seen in ordinary reality. This,
as well as other Padre Pio’s gifts, was the result of an impeccable discipline
and a devoted adherence to the web of life, which was, and is, constantly
misunderstood in his ordinary environment. His main focus was towards the
relief of human pain, and in this respect his major pragmatic acheviement was
the manifestation of the Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza (Home to Relieve Suffering),
a large hospital in San Giovanni Rotondo, which is currently considered one of
the most efficient hospitals in Europe.
In 1962, Karol Wojtyła (the later pope
John Paul II) wrote to Padre Pio to ask him to pray to God for a friend in Poland who was suffering from
cancer. As a result the cancer regressed with medical professionals being
unable to offer an explanation for the regression. During that time Padre Pio
predicted that Wojtyła would someday become pope.
Due to his non-ordinary
powers, the Church carried out various investigations and was at one point
banned from celebrating masses in public, receiving visitors, or talking to
women alone. He was charged of faking miracles, exploiting people’s credulity
and having sex with women in the confessional box.
He was also regularly
ridiculed, despised and offended by several church officials and authorities. Nevertheless
Padre Pio was generally regarded as exceptionally holy even during his
lifetime.
See below some rare documents on Padre Pio.
He died in 1968 and in 1982 the Church opened investigations to
discover whether he should be considered a saint. After various delvelopments
Padre Pio was officially declared a saint in 2002. Half a million people attended the announcement
ceremony.
