A Friend's Saint

I really enjoyed learning about Alex's saint, Padre Pio.  His ministry and works are amazing.  I am fascinated by the stigmata endured.  It is truly incredible how closely linked Jesus shone through him.  His hands and feet bled just like Jesus' did while dying on the cross.   This really shows how dedicated he was to Jesus.  I read an article once on how he appeared in a dream, for someone who was praying for a miracle to happen.  The next day when the woman awoke, her paralyzed son was able to walk.  I honestly believe that through the work of Jesus Christ and the ministry of Padre Pio that this boy was cured.  I know it's a lot to ask for, but I pray to Padre Pio more often so maybe one of my prayers will become a reality.
