This practitioner also asks: “The other thing is, my family were very devoted to Padre Pio da Pietrelcina (Italy). We have always felt a link to him. He was canonized by the Catholic Church for all the good deeds and “miracles” he performed, by helping his fellow human beings. I did visit the convent where he lived and the sanctuary where he was buried. Also visited his humble room where he lived and saw the thousands of letters sent to him from people he helped, one way or another. When I was there, I felt so much peace and love within me, I will never forget! He also had Christ’s stigmata for most of his life. I know Creator spoke in the past regarding stigmata and how they may come about, but I would really like to know if this humble man who did so much for his fellow humans, is now in the light, and if he can tell us of his experience?”

You can rest assured he is in the light and is safe and is in bliss knowing all he accomplished and that his legacy lives on even to the present day and will continue as well. The main thing he would like the world to know is that he was a natural healer and it was amplified because he was extremely empathic, and in an era where there were no effective and practical guidelines for summoning healing in a specific way to reach deep issues and problems, and right the wrongs perpetrated through trauma, having that empathic sensing capability was the next best thing. So he could key into the deep issues within a person intuitively and have a sense of the nature of the energies that were in disarray, and in requesting divine assistance for the healing was able to accomplish more than most clerics wanting to help parishioners. So the accounts about him and his doings are authentic and truly happened. While his stigmata were, in effect, a self-inflicted wound out of his great compassion and empathetic connection to the story of Jesus Christ, and thus caused him great suffering, in the context of his life this enabled him to be a living example of the power of divine truth, that even through suffering, great things can happen and that love can triumph. This is amply embodied in the work of Padre Pio and his great love of the divine and of all the people who he had contact with.
