Padre Pio’s Stigmata: September 20, 1918
Why
"On Sept. 20, 1918, I was in the choir of the church after celebrating Mass, making the thanksgiving when I was suddenly overtaken by powerful trembling and then there came calm and I saw Our Lord in his crucified form.
"He was lamenting the ingratitude of men, especially those consecrated to him and favored by him."
"Then," Padre Pio continued, "his suffering was apparent as was his desire to join souls to his Passion. He invited me to let his pains enter into me and to meditate on them and at the same time concern myself with the salvation of others. Following this, I felt full of compassion for the Lord's pains and I asked him what I could do.
"I heard this voice: 'I will unite you with my Passion.' And after this the vision disappeared, I came back to myself, my reason returned and I saw these signs here from which blood flowed. Before this I did not have these."1
Padre Pio had all the wounds of Christ including what he described as the most painful wound of them all, the shoulder wound. Below is a picture of Padre Pio’s shirt exhibiting stains of blood from this very wound.
WHY THE DATE OF SEPTEMBER 20?
On September 20, 1870, with the “Breach of Porta Pia,” the temporal power of the papacy disappeared, and that same day, Albert Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini created the New Reformed Palladian Rite, the top of all Masonic Lodges on the earth, with the said aim to destroy the spiritual power of the Catholic Church!
September 20, therefore, symbolizes the supreme goal of Freemasonry: the complete annihilation of Christianity.
But the spiritual power of the Catholic Church has its roots in the Sacrifice of Christ on the cross and therefore, the supreme goal of Satan and of Masonry is to eliminate the Sacrifice of Christ on the cross from the face of the earth.2
Padre Pio’s Mass and Suffering
Fr. Tarcisio wrote a book entitled “Padre Pio’s Mass” where he asked Padre Pio several questions.
Fr. Tarcisio: At what hour of the day do you suffer most?
Padre Pio: During the offering of the Mass.
Fr. Tarcisio: At what moment of the Divine Sacrifice (of the Mass) do you suffer Most?
Padre Pio: Always and increasingly.

Fr. Tarcisio: During the offering of the Mass, at what moment do you suffer most?
Padre Pio: From the Consecration to Communion.
Fr. Tarcisio: At what part of the Mass are you scourged?
Padre Pio: From the beginning to the end, but more intensely after the Consecrations.
Fr. Tarcisio: During the Mass, are the pricks of thorns from the crown and the scourging real?
Padre Pio: What do you mean? The results are the same.
Fr. Tarcisio: What should we do during Mass?
Padre Pio: Repent and love.
Fr. Tarcisio: How should we hear Mass?
Padre Pio: In the same way that the Most Holy Virgin and the Holy women assisted. In the same way that St. John assisted at the Eucharistic Sacrifice and the bloody one of the Cross. We priests are the sacrificers of Jesus, the Lamb of God during the Mass, while all of paradise reverently descends on the altar.
Fr. Tarcisio: What benefits do we receive on hearing it?
Padre Pio: It is not possible to number them. You will see them in Paradise.
