St. Padre Pio was an Italian priest who was known for his piety and charity, as well as the gift of the stigmata, which has never been explained.
St. Padre Pio was born Francesco Forgione, on May 25, 1887, in Pietrelcina, Italy. His parents were peasant farmers. He had an older brother and three younger sisters, as well as two other siblings who died in infancy. As a child, he was very religious and by the age of five he reportedly made the decision to dedicate his life to God.
He was known for his piety, charity and the quality of his preaching. He famously advised, “Pray, hope and don’t worry.”
Pope John Paul II recognized Padre Pio as a saint on June 16, 2002. His feast day is September 23. He is the patron of civil defense volunteers, adolescents, and the village of Pietrelcina.
In the back of the card the prayer reads:
PRAYER TO GOD THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF SAINT PIO
Oh God,
You gave Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, capuchin
priest,
the great privilege of participating in a unique way in the passion
of Your Son,
grant me, through his intercession the grace of…
which I ardently desire;
and above all grant me the grace of living in conformity with the death of Jesus
to arrive at the glory of the resurrection.
