The body of Padre Pio exhumed last week. Archbishop Domenico D’Ambrosio, who led the service to exhume the body of St. Padre Pio, said, “We could clearly make out the beard. The top part of the skull is partly skeletal but the chin is perfect and the rest of the body is well preserved. The knees, hands and nails were all clearly visible.”

The body of Padre Pio exhumed last week. Archbishop Domenico D’Ambrosio, who led the service to exhume the body of St. Padre Pio, said, “We could clearly make out the beard. The top part of the skull is partly skeletal but the chin is perfect and the rest of the body is well preserved. The knees, hands and nails were all clearly visible.” Part of St. Padre Pio’s face has been treated by a mortician
This picture witnesses a real live miracle ongoing, that the body of a saint after 40 years of death looks not even dead but only asleep. Many who have gone to Medjugorje have had devotion to Padre Pio. Marija once said, “Once you have converted but do not regularly read about the saints, you will have a hard time keeping converted.” Why would this be? Because the trials and difficulties that come with conversion must be navigated through. The saints have cut the trail and their lives are the map. Thank Our Lady so that She will thank God for the miracles occurring in our midst, directly before our eyes. Stare at the picture. Mediate upon the miracle, an active super-natural grace where after 40 years, St. Padre Pio’s body has been well preserved. Archbishop D’Ambrosio said upon exhuming the body, “If Padre Pio allows me, I might say he looks as though he just had a manicure.” What a grace for those who went face to face with this saint in Confession and now over 40 years in the grave, look again face to face.

Wonderful insight and powerfully encouraging. Thank you. The following words about the final Marian Dogma come from the 30th MESSAGE – April 1, 1951, of The Lady of All Nations to visionary, Ida Peerdeman. Blessed Mother%u2019s words in the last paragraph echo the words spoken by Friend of Medjugorje in this latest broadcast regarding the understanding of Her Revelations.The (Our) Lady continues,%u201CNow I will explain something to you again; listen carefully. Try to understand what this message means… This will become a much contested dogma.%u201DI say that this message makes me afraid. Then the Lady says, %u201CChild, pass it on, and say: this brings the Marian dogmas to a close.%u201DWhile saying this the Lady makes a kind of ring or circle, which, so to speak, she closes with a lock.%u201CYou have nothing to do other than pass this on.I have said: theology must give way to the concerns of my Son. By this I mean to say: theologians, the Son always looks for the little and simple for His cause….
