Episode 340: Padre Pio Appeared to Mary O'Regan, Now She Shares Stories and Insights About the Saint
Hey Everybody! It's Fr. Edward
In this episode of Hey Everybody, It’s Fr. Edward, I speak with Mary O’Regan, author of the new Sophia Institute Press biography of Padre Pio. Mary shares the incredible story of how Padre Pio appeared to her in a mystical experience that changed her life and set her on the path of researching and writing about one of the Church’s most beloved saints. We discuss: * How Padre Pio mystically visited Mary O’Regan and what it meant for her vocation. * Why we affectionately call him Padre Pio rather than St. Pio. * Padre Pio’s promise not to enter Heaven until all his spiritual children are with him. * The healing Our Lady of Fatima received through Padre Pio’s intercession. * John XXIII, the Third Secret of Fatima, and connections to Padre Pio. * Why Padre Pio, as the first priest to bear the stigmata, remains so significant. * Practical ways to grow in devotion to Padre Pio today. Whether you’re just learning about Padre Pio or already have a devotion to him, this conversation will inspire you to discover anew the life, miracles, and message of this extraordinary saint. 👉 Find Mary O’Regan’s book through Sophia Institute Press, and be sure to subscribe for more conversations on saints, faith, and devotion.
