Throughout his life, every time Padre Pio encountered something challenging, he leaned into God and found a way to reroute it into something good.

During the time when Padre Pio was under investigation and unable to say Mass, hear confessions, or communicate with his spiritual director, he spent his days patiently waiting—and praying.

When we open our hearts and quiet our minds, we can experience God’s presence in powerful ways. It starts with paying attention.

spiritual experience.

Differences of opinion can bring out the worst in us. We want to prove our point of view, and we get frustrated when we feel unheard or misunderstood.

God, for Padre Pio, was not a foreign figure to learn about, but more a companion to be encountered daily on his faith journey.

Two lay participants who took part in the Franciscan synod were struck by different elements of the process that spoke to them.
