description: Eileen Dunn Bertanzetti During his 58 years as a Capuchin friar, Padre Pio never stopped encouraging the faithful to receive Jesus in the Eucharist and to pray in the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. During that time, thousands upon thousands of pilgrims streamed to Pietrelcina, Italy, to be there as he celebrated Mass, to receive the sacrament of penance from him, to seek his spiritual guidance, and to ask for his prayers. Among them, in 1947 was a young Father Karol Wojtyla who, later as Pope John Paul II, proclaimed him St Pio in 2002. Now you can enter into the presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist accompanied by this humble stigmatist(one who suffers the wounds of Christ crucified). Here are his words and his prayers on life's sorrows, fears, trials, temptations, and joys Even on Earth, Simply Love God Divine Mercy Thy Will Be Done
