Padre Pio!He was born in 1887 in a small Italian village called Pietrelcina. He was a capuchin priest who received the stigmata (the exterior wounds of Christ) and spent 50 years in the monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo where he was much sought after as a spiritual advisor, confessor and intecessor.
Despite much notoriety, he would often say: "I only want to be a poor friar who prays."
His life was devoted to the Eucharist and to prayer.
He was canonozed by Pope John Paul II.
