Download or read book Welcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio written by Susan De Bartoli and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let the Holy Spirit lead you to the Living Water that feeds our well of faith. When asked about his spiritual gifts of healing, bilocation, prophecy, and stigmata, Padre Pio replied, “You know, they are a mystery to me, too.” While you might think he is just being modest, he is actually getting at the heart of how the Holy Spirit works in every Christian’s life. We can’t fully understand why God gives us certain gifts, but as we walk with Christ, we can engage with this mystery and journey towards holiness. In Welcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio, Susan De Bartoli shares stories and wisdom from the life of this humble monk to show how we can use our unique spiritual gifts to love others and draw from the well of faith to encounter Christ in profound ways. Following the success of her Advent devotional, Welcoming the Christ Child with Padre Pio, Susan De Bartoli invites you to explore Padre Pio’s relationship with the third member of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Spirit, who is the source of all spiritual gifts. Through the stories of this simple Capuchin priest, you’ll discover what is possible for those who surrender themselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. At Baptism, we all receive the fruits of the Spirit—gifts like wisdom, fortitude, and piety—that empower us to “dive deep” into the well of faith. The Holy Spirit also graces some of us with special charisms—supernatural gifts such as healing, teaching, or intercessory abilities—intended to serve the Church. In this book, you’ll learn how to nurture these gifts, just as Padre Pio did, so that even your “ordinary“ spiritual gifts and charisms can bless others and deepen your own faith. Each chapter offers quotations from Padre Pio, a short story about the saint, prayer, and reflection questions that you can apply to your own life, such as: What are my spiritual gifts and how have I seen them play out in my life already? Am I consistently drinking from the well of faith? What does the Lord want me to do with my life, and how can I use my spiritual gifts to serve the Church? Am I willing to surrender even the good things in my life to glorify the Lord? Welcoming the Holy Spirit with Padre Pio is the perfect companion for those who are already drawn to Padre Pio’s spirituality or anyone yearning to strengthen their relationship with the Holy Spirit. Through the example of this extraordinary saint, you will discover how continually drawing from the well of Living Water can drastically change your everyday walk with Christ.

Book excerpt: Padre Pio is a masterpiece of God's love for us.With Padre Pio the extraordinary was ordinary, the uncommon was common, thesupernatural was natural, the unthinkable was routine, and the unpredictable was norm.It cannot be imagined a more complete, lasting, unwavering selflessness in a human being.From birth to death every day of his life was consumed by the love and imitation of Godthrough Jesus, consumed by the love and help for the suffering humanity of his brothers andsisters on earth, consumed by the love and suffrage of the souls in Purgatory to shorten andmitigate their pain, consumed by the love and obedience at any price to the Roman CatholicChurch.God lavished on him his gifts with an abundance that has no equal.And Padre Pio made good use of them, with healings, resurrections, levitations, prophecy,reading the hearts, speaking in tongues, reading unknown languages, spreading a scent offlowers, multiplying food in times of need, permanent visible presence of the GuardianAngel, frequent visitations with heavenly Beings, seeing the souls from Purgatory, knowingin details the status of the deceased, preventing bodily harm in bilocation, preventing caraccidents in bilocation, preventing destruction of things in bilocation, healing in bilocation,assisting in bilocation dying people for a peaceful trespassing.He did those things while ingesting minimal food, taking minimal sleep, having constantheadaches, enduring a lifelong chronic bronchitis frequently diagnosed as pulmonarytubercolosis, going through bouts of extremely high fevers and profuse nightly sweating.Padre Pio's distinguishing characteristics were kindness, joy, serenity, humility,modesty, piety, attitude of forgiveness, perfect obedience to all ecclesiasticalauthorities,He relived the Passion of Christ through thousands of Masses.By raising his right wounded hand He absolved millions of sins.He walked millions of painful steps on his wounded feet.His fingers went through millions of rosaries. His lips uttered billions of "Ave Maria".His body went through billions of seconds in pain for the wounds.Each and every one of His trillions of heartbeats was a grandiose symphony for the Glory ofGod.163Now He is in Heaven immersed in the joy of the beatific vision.In Paradise he continues to work for us, pray for us, intercede for us, distributing all kinds ofgraces for the asking.The only thing he doesn't do anymore is suffering.Thank you God for having given us Padre Pio.
