## Resource

Everyone knows Padre Pio for the stigmata, the bilocation, and the confession lines that wrapped around the monastery. But almost everything famous about Padre Pio.. the wounds, the suffering, his entire spiritual life.. traces back to one thing: his daily devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In this episode, we look at Padre Pio's life through the lens of the Sacred Heart, including the transverberation he experienced years before the stigmata appeared, how he understood his wounds in light of St. Francis of Assisi's own vision, the real pattern behind the reported bilocation accounts, and the simple novena prayer he prayed every single day for the people who wrote to him. You don't need the stigmata or the gifts Padre Pio had to live the same trust he lived. This episode shows you the door he walked through.. and it's the same one available to you. 🔔 Subscribe for daily episodes #PadrePio #SacredHeart #CatholicSaints #Stigmata #CatholicPodcast
