Saint Padre Pio. I’ve never met him while he was alive, but our friendship runs deeper than death itself. We’ll dive into the miracles, mysteries, and holy mayhem surrounding this beloved monk — from his stigmata that bled for fifty years, to stories of bi-location, reading souls, and even fistfights with the devil. You’ll hear about the time American pilots claimed they saw him in the sky, the healings that stunned doctors, and the humble obedience that silenced his doubters. But this episode isn’t just a history lesson — it’s personal. I’ll share how I “met” Padre Pio, how he’s shown up in my own story, and what it means to have a saint as a friend and intercessor. So grab your rosary and your curiosity, and let’s talk about a man who reminds us that miracles still happen, heaven is closer than we think, and holiness is anything but boring.
