Padre Pio and Purgatory
September 18, 2022
It’s easy to believe and justify the above statement when you look at what scripture says.
“Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!”~Matthew 7:13-14
Nobody brought the suffering of Christ at Calvary to the Mass like Padre Pio. And nobody prayed the rosary for the souls in purgatory like Padre Pio. Many souls visited Padre Pio from purgatory asking for Masses and prayers to be said for their souls as well as many others.
“More souls of the dead from Purgatory than of the living climb this mountain to attend my Masses and seek my prayers.”~Padre Pio
“Oh don’t worry, I was talking to some souls who were on their way from Purgatory to Heaven. They stopped here to thank me because I remembered them in my Mass this morning.”~Padre Pio after getting up from a table and speaking to “air.” His fellow friars asked who he was speaking to and the above answer was given.
Verified Visitation from Purgatory with “Receipts” to prove it.
One night Padre Pio was in his cell praying when an old man appeared next to him.
“‘I looked at him but never thought of how he managed to get in the friary at that hour. I asked him: ‘Who are you? What do you want?” The man answered: “Padre Pio, I am Pietro di Mauro, nicknamed Precoco. I died in this friary [in a fire] on September 18, 1908, in room number 4. I am still in Purgatory, and I need a Mass to free my soul from it. God has given me permission to come to you and ask for your prayers.’ After I had listened to his story, I said: ‘You can rest assured that I will celebrate Mass tomorrow for your liberation.’”
Padre Pio advised the man was free from purgatory as a result of the Mass said for him. The information of the man and his passing was verified by town records by another friar shortly after so the events seem to be legitimate.
Someone asked Padre Pio how to avoid purgatory and this was his response.
“By accepting everything from God’s hand. Offering everything up to Him with love and thanksgiving will enable us to pass from our deathbed to paradise.”
How many of us can look in the mirror and say we do this? How many of us can say with confidence and a high level of certainty that our departed loved ones and ancestors did this?
In case you haven’t heard Traditional Latin Masses are being shut down all across the globe including right here in the United States. This is the only Mass ever said by Padre Pio.
There are more and more Traditional Latin Masses disappearing and new statements coming from the Vatican surrounding the ability to receive Holy Communion based on “faith” alone. It’s important to protect the Holy Eucharist now more than ever.
“It would be easier for the world to exist without the sun than without the Holy Mass.”~Padre Pio
If you recall last July I released what I felt was an important call for action which I will link below momentarily. Please read or reread it and get the word out to people.
We have to clear purgatory to win this battle for souls, all souls including yours, mine, and all our ancestors. We have to stay in prayer using the rosary, educate others on the communion of saints, offer Masses(preferably at a Traditional Latin Mass) for our departed loved ones(see below), and enlighten all on the Truly Live and Present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Evangelization needs to happen in a big way by the laity before there is a bigger war inside the Church between Catholics and others “invited” by the attempts to lax the receiving of the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord.
I know many people feel this is not something God has placed on their plate but it’s now on everyone’s plate in my opinion.
Just do it!
