Carolina Catholic learns about St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina from a spiritual daughter

For our second September show, we chat with Mary O'Regan, the author of Padre Pio and You. This beautiful book brings the reader the life of this saint in a very detailed but personal way by the author, who met him mystically as a teenager in 1998 when she was 14, and he transformed her life. She beautifully describes the miracles that happened to him (the stigmata, the transverberation of his heart, and his ability to bilocate) and the miracles he prayed for to help others (healings & conversions). Mary spent many years collecting his pearls of wisdom in order to guide us through Padre Pio to Jesus, who loved His friar so intensely and uniquely. Beneath all of the details of his saintly life laid out in this book, we find ourselves longing for our own relationship with Padre Pio.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the last two weekends of September. You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab. Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
