September 23: PADRE PIO: Marked by Christ
Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids
Padre Pio carried the actual wounds of Christ's Crucifixion in his own body for fifty years — and spent his life hearing confessions. In 1918, while deep in prayer, Padre Pio received the stigmata — real wounds matching Christ's Crucifixion that never healed for five decades. Embarrassed by the attention, he quietly offered his suffering to God while spending enormous hours hearing confessions, calling the sacrament "the soul's bath." "The soul's bath." Padre Pio's challenge doesn't have to end when the episode does.
