San Pio
Messages by Jesus to Padre Pio
On September 20th, 1918 the five wounds of Our Lord's Passion
appeared on his body, making him the first stigmatized priest in the
history of the Church. Countless numbers were attracted to his
confessional and many more received his saintly counsel and spiritual
guidance through correspondence. His whole life was marked by long hours
of prayer and continual austerity. His letters to his spiritual
directors reveal the ineffable sufferings, physical and spiritual, which
accompanied him all through life. They also reveal his very deep union
with God, his burning love for the Blessed Eucharist and Our Blessed
Lady. Worn out by over half a century of intense suffering and constant
apostolic activity in San Giovanni Rotondo, he was called to his
heavenly reward on September 23, 1968. After a public funeral which
attracted almost 100,000, his body was entombed in the crypt of Our Lady
of Grace Church. Increasing numbers flock to his tomb from all parts of
the world and many testify to spiritual and temporal graces received. On
Feb. 16th, 1973, the Archbishop of Manfredonia, Mgr. Valentino Vailati,
consigned the documentation to the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of
Saints so as to obtain the "nihil obstat" for the beginning of the
process of his Beatification. January 28, 1950: "Keep your windows well-covered. Do not
look out. Light a blessed candle, which will suffice for many days.
Pray the Rosary. Read spiritual books. Make acts of Spiritual
Communion, also acts of love, which are so pleasing to Us. Pray with
outstretched arms, or prostrate on the ground, in order that many
souls may be saved. Do not go outside the house. Provide yourself
with sufficient food. The powers of nature shall be moved and
a rain of fire
shall make people tremble with fear. Have courage! I am in the midst
of you." February 7, 1950: "Take care of the animals during these
days. I am the creator and preserver of animals as well as man. I
shall give you a few signs beforehand, at which time you should
place more food before them. I will preserve the property of the
elect, including the animals, for they shall be in need of
sustenance afterwards as well. Let no one go across the yard, even
to feed the animals - he who steps outside will perish! Cover your
windows carefully. My elect shall not see My wrath. Have confidence
in Me, and I will be your protection." "Hurricanes
of fire will pour
forth from the clouds and spread over the entire earth! Storms, bad
weather, thunderbolts and earthquakes will cover the earth for two
days. An uninterrupted
rain of fire
will take place! It will begin during a very cold night. All this is
to prove that God is the Master of Creation. Those who hope in Me,
and believe in My words, have nothing to fear because I will not
forsake them, nor those who spread My message. No harm will come to
those who are in the state of grace and who seek My Mother's
protection." "That you may be prepared for these visitations, I will
give you the following signs and instructions: The night will be
very cold. The wind will roar. After a time a thunderbolt will be
heard. Lock all the doors and windows. Talk to no one outside the
house. Kneel down before a crucifix, be sorry for your sins, and beg
My Mother's protection. Do not look during the earthquake, because
the anger of God is holy! Jesus does not want us to behold the anger
of God, because God's anger must be contemplated with fear and
trembling." "Those who disregard this advice will be killed instantly.
The wind will carry with it poisonous gases which will be diffused
over the entire earth. Those who suffer and die innocently will be
martyrs and they will be with Me in My Kingdom. Satan will triumph!
But in three nights,
the earthquake and fire will cease. On the following day the sun
will shine again, angels will descend from Heaven and will spread
the spirit of peace over the earth. A feeling of immeasurable
gratitude will take possession of those who survive this most
terrible ordeal, the impending punishment, with which God will visit
the earth since creation. "I have chosen souls in other countries too, such as
Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, who have received these revelations so
that other countries also may be prepared. Pray the Rosary, but pray
it well, so that your prayers may reach Heaven. Soon a more terrible
catastrophe shall come upon the entire world, such as never before
has been witnessed, a terrible chastisement never before
experienced!" "How unconcerned men are regarding these things! Which
shall so soon come upon them, contrary to all expectations. How
indifferent they are in preparing themselves for these unheard of
events, through which they will have to pass so shortly! The weight
of divine balance has reached the earth! The wrath of My Father
shall be poured out over the entire world! I am again warning the
world through your instrumentality, as I have so often done
heretofore." "This catastrophe shall come
upon the earth like a flash of lightning! At which moment the light
of the morning sun shall be replaced by
black darkness!
No one shall leave the house or look out a window from that moment
on. I Myself shall come amidst thunder and lightning. The wicked
shall behold My Divine Heart. There shall be great confusion because
of this utter
darkness in which
the entire earth shall be enveloped, and many, many shall die from
fear and despair." "On that day, as soon as
complete darkness
has set in, no one shall leave the house or look from out of the
window. The darkness shall last a day and a night followed by
another day and night, and another day - but on the night following,
the stars will shine again, and on the next morning the sun shall
rise again, and it will be SPRINGTIME!! In the days of darkness, My
elect shall not sleep, as did the disciples in the garden. They
shall pray incessantly, and they shall not be disappointed in Me. I
shall gather My elect. Hell will believe itself to be in possession
of the entire earth, but I shall reclaim it." "Again and again I have warned men, and often have I given
them special opportunities to return to the right path; but now,
wickedness has reached its climax, and the punishment can no longer
be delayed. Tell all that the time has come in which these things
shall be fulfilled."
"The pivot of perfection is love; he who lives in love
lives in God, because God is love, as the Apostle says."
"To fail in charity is like wounding God in the apple of
His eye. What is more delicate than the pupil of the eye? To
fail in charity is like failing against nature." "Try always to advance more in charity; enlarge your
heart with confidence for the divine gifts which the Holy Spirit
is anxious to pour into it." "God can reject everything in a creature conceived in sin
and of which it bears the indelible impression inherited from
Adam. But He can absolutely not reject the sincere desire to
love Him." "Charity is the queen of virtues. As the pearls are held
together by the thread, thus the virtues are held together by
charity; as the pearls fall when the thread breaks, thus virtues
are lost if charity diminishes." "Humility and charity go hand in hand. The one glorifies,
the other sanctifies." "The time spent for the glory of God and the salvation of
souls is never spent badly." "Where there is no obedience, there is no virtue; where
there is no virtue, there is no good. Where good is wanting,
there is no love; where there is no love, God is absent; where
God is absent, there is no heaven." "Obey promptly! Do not consider the age or merit of the
person. And in order to succeed, imagine you are obeying the
Lord."
