This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

“And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.”
Luke 9:23-24

On Sept. 20, 1918, 108 years ago, St. Pio of Pietrelcina received the stigmata while praying after Mass in the chapel of the Capuchin friars at San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy.
The stigmata are physical marks associated with Christ’s Passion, traditionally corresponding to the wounds in his hands, feet and side during the Crucifixion. Some individuals have received these bleeding wounds as a spiritual gift and a participation in Christ’s sacrificial suffering.
Padre Pio’s wounds bled daily for 50 years and remained visible for the rest of his life. They healed completely, leaving no scars, shortly before his death on Sept. 23, 1968. Accounts also describe the blood from his wounds as having a floral, perfume-like scent—not a foul odor.
