Drinking Problem

Late one night walking to my home from work, I was praying the Rosary for help to overcome a problem I had with alcohol, which was worsening. I was newly married, had an infant son and I realized that unless my drinking problem was defeated my future would be filled with disaster.

I was determined to overcome the problem and in my worry about it, I turned to Padre Pio for help as I prayed the Rosary. Suddenly I became aware of a fragrance of indescribable character. It seemed to envelop me with its delightful aroma, which produced a deep sense of peace and satisfaction. Suddenly the fragrance stopped.

A few steps later I was home and as was my practice, the first thing I did, was to visit my infant son asleep in his crib. As I entered my son’s room, again, the fragrance returned. Then it vanished. Remember, I had asked Padre Pio to help me overcome my alcohol problem.

Quite amazingly I must tell you, from the night of the fragrance to this very day, I developed and have maintained a deep disgust for alcohol, and for more than twenty years have had no desire whatsoever to drink alcohol in any form. It was after this experience that I learned that Padre Pio often uses fragrances as a sign that a prayer will be answered.

A story of a woman who went to confession to Padre Pio:

Before giving the woman absolution Padre Pio said, "Try to remember the other sin." The woman said, "Padre, I think I gave you all the sins I know and I think this is it," Padre Pio said, "Then for your penance, go to the cross to say 15 Ave Marias and 15 Our Fathers." Now the cross was at the top of the mountain.

The penance was not the Aves or the Our Fathers, it was a journey to get there, as it was a very bad road...So she did that and said the prayers and went back to Padre Pio for a second confession and Padre Pio asked, "Do you remember all your sins?" She said, Padre Pio, I've confessed everything." Padre Pio said, "No, you still don't remember all. You've go to go to the cross at the top of the mountain again." She went for the second time and when she still did not remember he sent her for the third time to the cross on the mountaintop.

When she returned for the third time for confession, Padre Pio asked, "So, do you remember everything now?" She replied, "No, Padre, I don't have anything more to confess." Then padre Pio said in a loud voice, "What do you mean, you don't remember anything? Don't you know he could have been a Priest, a bishop, even a cardinal?

" She started to think and then began to cry. "Father," she said, "I never knew abortion was a sin." "What do you mean," he said, "you didn't know this was a sin? That's killing." Then she said nobody knows about this, only me and my mother. How could you say it could have been a priest or a cardinal?" Padre Pio simply responded saying, "but it's a great sin." (From Padre Pio: The True Story by C Bernard Ruffin, Pages 296-297)

Undeniably the most famous of the miracles associated with Padre Pio was his stigmata; he bore the wounds of Christ in his hands, feet and side. With the possible exception of St. Paul (see Gal. 6:17), he was the first priest in history to bear the stigmata.

THE HOUSE OF MARY PYLE

Pilgrims and tourists can visit the house of “Mary Pyle” where the American benefactor lived and hosted persons in need of a bed or a hot meal. Even Padre Pio's parents were her guests and the same Capuchin was her guest on two occasions. It can be visited from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00 .

Adelia Pyle was born on 17 April 1888, in Morristown, New Jersey, but she lived in New York. She grew up in a Protestant family. Since childhood she received an excellent cultural education; she had a vivid intelligence, so she studied the native language and in addition she learned other foreign languages, music, singing and pedagogy. She became a friend and then a precious collaborator of the Italian educator Maria Montessori. Traveling around Europe, she got to know the Catholic religion better and found in it answers that she had always sought. She was baptized in 1918 in Barcelona and assumed the baptismal name of Maria.

�In 1923, she came to Rome with Maria Montessori and here she first heard about the stigmatized Capuchin of Gargano. She was on holiday in Capri with Maria Montessori and on October 1923, she left with a friend for San Giovanni Rotondo. On 4 October, in the Church of Our Lady of Grace, she met Padre Pio and with her great pleasure she finally found her spiritual director, when she was thirty-five years.

�At Padre Pio’s school, Mary proceeded quickly towards the way of Christian perfection and to comply fully with the life of Franciscans, she renounced everything appointing friars as heirs of her material goods.�Her house soon became “the house of charity”, because it is always open to all, at any time of day, and the poor were always the most awaited guests at the table.�The house of Mary Pyle is located a few dozen meters from the convent of the Capuchin friars.

�The mother of Saint Pio wanted to spend Christmas with her son, so she accepted the invitation of the “American lady” to spend the Christmas holidays near her son. Unfortunately, she became ill and died on 3 January 1929.�Because of the grief for the death of his mother, Padre Pio was very ill, so his superiors ordered him to remain in the house until he was healed.�On 7 October 1946 Saint Pio spent the entire day at the bedside of his elderly father who was sick.

He remained close to his father until he died in his arms in the same bed in which his mother had died. Also the night of 8 October, Saint Pio slept in that house. After his death, the house became property of Minor Capuchin Friars of the Religious Province of Foggia.

It was at first intended as “Provincial Infirmary”(1971-1975), and from 1978 to 1984 it hosted several Capuchin Poor Clare Sisters until the completion of their Monastery on Mount Castellano. Today it is the seat of the “Centre for Youth Vocation” of Padre Pio’s confreres.
