Padre Pio-The Confessional
Padre Pio was a martyr of the confessional. Sometimes he would hear confessions as long as 18 hours a day. He wrote to a friend: "I am well but I am very busy day and night hearing hundreds of confessions daily, I have not a minute left but praise to Christ, who powerfully assists me in my work."

A fellow friar, Padre Alessio recalls an incident when he entered Padre Pio's room and found him shivering. The weather was warm but he appeared to be freezing. He later learned that the mystic had been hearing the confession of a man dying high in the snowy mountains. (Taken from "Padre Pio: The True Story by C. Bernard Ruffin) (Excellent Account of Padre Pio's Life)
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) June 16, 2002 Before one of the largest crowds ever to fill the Vatican area, Pope John Paul Sunday made a saint of Padre Pio, a 20th century mystic monk who is said to have borne the bleeding wounds of Christ for 50 years. Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world thronged St. Peter's Square and all the streets in the vicinity for hours before the ceremony started in front of Christendom's largest church. The Pope, who is said to be particularly devoted to the Franciscan Capuchin monk who died in 1968 at the age of 81, presided at a solemn ceremony to canonize one of the 20th century's most popular Roman Catholic figures.

Padre Pio had frequent bouts with the devil. He had a great devotion to
his guardian angel and St. Michael the Archangel.
Padre Pio was born on May 25, 1887. He was baptised Francis. Even as a child he had extraordinary gifts. While his brothers and sisters played, he prayed. When he was a teenager he received a present of chestnuts wrapped in a bag. He returned the bag to the sender of the gifts, a woman. The woman saved the bag, she thought it might be a future relic. This woman was in her barn when a spark ignited powder and there was a terrible explosion. She was in great pain, and bleeding from a serious wound. She remembered the bag and placed it to herself. She was instantly cured. This was the first miracle God performed through Padre Pio, he was 13 years old. At the age of 15 Padre Pio entered the Capuchins despite the fact that he was in bad health. One day he heard a voice from the tabernacle: "You will be scourged, crown with thorns and nailed to the cross like St.Francis."
