Padre Pio - FILM Completo - Sergio Castellitto 2000

Ave Maria Gratia Plena


Se si spengono le fiamme della fede, dell' amore e della pace MAI si spegnera' quella della speranza che viene...ad riaccendere le altre.
If the flames of faith, love and peace are extinguished, it will never turn off the hope that comes... to rekindle the others.

·
Stasera, chi vuole, accendi un cero o una candela benedetta fuori dalla finestra come segno di speranza, di fede, di preghiera, per i nostri santi e per i nostri cari defunti.
Tonight, whoever wants, light a candle or a blessed candle outside the window as a sign of hope, faith, prayer, for our saints and for our loved ones.Padre Pio died in 1968 at the age of 81 (He looks like he died just yesterday or just taking a nap. His body has NOT decomposed for 50 years). His health deteriorated in the 1960s but he continued his spiritual works. On September 21, 1968, the day after the 50th anniversary of his receiving the stigmata, Padre Pio felt great fatigue.[46] The next day, on September 22, 1968, he was supposed to offer a Solemn Mass, but feeling weak, he asked his superior if he might say a Low Mass instead, as he had done daily for years.
Due to the large number of pilgrims present for the Mass, Padre Pio's superior decided the Solemn Mass must proceed. Padre Pio carried out his duties but appeared extremely weak and fragile. His voice was weak and, after the Mass had concluded, he nearly collapsed while walking down the altar steps. He needed help from his Capuchin brothers. This was his last celebration of the Mass.
Early in the morning of September 23, 1968, Padre Pio made his last confession and renewed his Franciscan vows.[14] As was customary, he had his rosary in his hands, though he did not have the strength to say the Hail Marys aloud. Till the end, he repeated the words "Gesù, Maria" (Jesus, Mary). At around 2:30 a.m., he said, "I see two mothers" (taken to mean his mother and Mary).[46] At 2:30 a.m. he died in his cell in San Giovanni Rotondo with his last breath whispering, "Maria!"[3]
His body was buried on September 26 in a crypt in the Church of Our Lady of Grace. His Requiem Mass was attended by over 100,000 people. He had often said, "After my death I will do more. My real mission will begin after my death."[46] The accounts of those who stayed with Padre Pio till the end state that the stigmata had completely disappeared without a scar. Only a red mark "as if drawn by a red pencil" remained on his side but it disappeared.[46]
