Padre Pio
The Capuchin monk, whose real name Francisco Forgione, has the distinction of having "experienced" virtually all miraculous phenomena related in the most wonderful stories of saints. But the facts are contemporary, some were seen by hundreds of people and many atheists, a priori skeptical or sarcastic, converted suddenly before the evidence of what he sees.
What were the performances of this extraordinary priest?
-Born in 1887 in Pietrelcina, near Naples, he asked 15 years to enter the Capuchin monastery. From the novitiate, he had extraordinary experiences of the demon who tortured him physically and prevented him from sleeping. This was only the beginning and throughout his life as parish priest of Ars, he had to face the devil. In 1915, he received the stigmata of Christ's passion, which earned him constant pain and walking difficulties, bleeding wound on the side as to fill a cup of blood per day. The wound does not of inflammation, it is clearly open. The stigma of hands and feet are covered with a thin skin that closes the gap on the location of the nails of the crucifixion, this gap is clearly palpable.

Crowds come to his monastery in San Giovanni Rotondo for the penitents to confess and note with amazement that the father read in their hearts an open book: he reminds them of this event Hidden in their lives or refuses communion to someone who, among the crowd, is not in good standing with his conscience. During the celebration of Mass, which lasted sometimes three hours, his face expresses emotion from another world. It often pays a flood of tears or sweating profusely despite the cold.
