Padre Pio
The Padre Pio shrine located in Barto, Pa just outside of Boyertown is a 40 minute drive from us and a good hour from Philadelphia. We stopped on our way to dropping our son off to college. A local Norristown family's daughter was miraculously cured after visiting Padre Pio in Italy, and as a Thank You the family built and has maintained a beautiful shrine on 106 acres that replicates Padre Pio's San Giovanni, Italy residence. All our welcome and there is no charge for admission.
Padre Pio devoted his life to helping and healing others. He suffered physically most of his life, but despite his poor health, continued to bless others with good health. Padre Pio's famous quotes are to, "Pray, Hope, and don't Worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear you prayer." Also, "Prayer is oxygen for the soul".
We have so much noise and distractions in our daily lives. I often think we are just like the birds on the wire twitting back and forth. When we take time to pray, meditate, and just sit in peace and quiet, we let the silence wash over us and fill us with grace and solace. The peace and tranquility of prayer or meditation enables to connect to the divine spirit within each us opening the channels to our limitless potential.
In the words of the great Pio, let us
Pray, Hope, and don't worry.
With Love,
