Francisco Forgione was born on May 25, 1887 near Naples, Italy, and entered the Capuchin community in 1903, where he was given the name Brother Pio. While serving as an assistant pastor, Padre Pio received a special grace: an intense pain in his hands, feet, and side through which he shared in the suffering of Jesus on the Cross. This was only the beginning of the extraordinary gifts God shared with Padre Pio, including the ability to read souls, which he used to help people make good confessions and experience God's forgiveness. As the stories of Padre Pio began to spread, thousands of people flocked to this humble Franciscan priest, who dedicated his life to celebrating Mass, sharing God's mercy through the Sacrament of Confession, and offering spiritual direction. This story of Padre Pio teaches us the meaning of suffering, the value of the Sacrament of Confession, and the peace that comes from living the motto that Padre Pio tirelessly shared with those who sought his advice: "Pray. Hope. And don't worry."
