St. Pio of Pietrelcina - Feast Day September 23rd Padre Pio is understood above all else as a man of prayer. Before he was thirty years old he had already reached the summit of spiritual life known as the "unitive way" of transforming union with God. He prayed almost continuously. His prayers were usually very simple. He loved to pray the Rosary and recommended it to others. To someone who asked him what legacy his wished to leave to his spiritual children, his brief reply was, "My child the Rosary." He had a special mission to the souls in Purgatory and encouraged everyone to pray for them. He used to say, "We must empty Purgatory with our prayers." Serene and well prepared, Padre Pio passed away on September 23, 1968 at the age of eighty-one. He died as he had lived, with Rosary in his hands. His last words were, "Gesu, Maria - Jesus, Mary. He had often declared, "After my death I will do more, my real mission will begin after my death."Padre Pio Pray for Us! ... See MoreSee Less

St. John Chrysostom - Feast Day September 13thThe word Chrysostom means "golden-mouthed" and denotes his celebrated eloquence. John Chrysostom’s preaching, by word and example, exemplifies the role of the prophet to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable. For his honesty and courage, he paid the price of a turbulent ministry as bishop, personal vilification, and exile."When you are before the altar where Christ reposes, you ought no longer to think that you are amongst men; but believe that there are troops of angels and archangels standing by you, and trembling with respect before the sovereign Master of Heaven and earth. Therefore, when you are in church, be there in silence, fear, and veneration.”St. John Chrysostom Pray for Us! ... See MoreSee Less
