ST.PADRE PIO and Carol Wojtyla, future Pope John Paul II




ST.PADRE PIO and Carol Wojtyla, future Pope John Paul II

The following notes were written in Latin, and were sent from Rome, where Bishop Wojtyla was visiting the Pontifical Polish College:

On November 17, 1962, Padre Pio received a handwritten letter from Monsignor Karol Woityla asking to pray for Wanda Poltawska from Cracow, having terminal throat cancer. Angelo Battisti, administrator of Casa Sollievo, reported that Padre Pio told him: "Angelino, conserva questa lettera, perche' un giorno diventera' importante." Translated, "Angelino, keep this letter, because one day it will become important.



Venerable Father, 

I ask you to pray for a mother of four girls, forty years old, from Cracow in Poland, (during the last war she was in a concentration camp in Germany), now she is extremely in danger for her health and her life because of cancer: May God use his misericordy to herself and her family, with the intercession of the Very Blessed Virgin. 
Very much obliged in Christ,

A few days later, in a letter to Padre Pio on November 28, 1962, Monsignor Karol Woityla wrote: "Wanda was completely healed from cancer on November 21, and surgical intervention was canceled. Deo gratias. Thank you Venerable Father."


Venerable Father,

The woman living in Cracow, Poland, mother of four girls, on November 21, regained her health immediately before surgery. Thanks to God. And also to you, Venerable Father, the biggest thank you from the woman, her husband, and the entire family.

In Christ,

Roma, November 28, 1962


Below is a follow up letter to Padre Pio from the future John Paul II, sent from Rome on December 14, 1963:


Venerable Father,

Your Paternity will certainly remember that already some few times in the past I took the permission to recommend to your prayers some particularly dramatic cases in need of attention. 

I'd like therefore to thank you deeply on behalf of the people involved, particularly about a lady, catholic physician, ill with cancer, and of the son of an attorney, gravely ill since birth. Both the persons are doing well, thanks to God. 

Allow me moreover, Very Reverend Father, to entrust to your prayers, a paralyzed lady, of this Archdioceses. 

At the same time I let myself to recommend to you the vast pastoral difficulties that my poor work faces in the current situation.

I take the opportunity to renew to you the senses of my religious regards, with which I love to prove myself, 

of your Paternity very devout in Jesus Christ

Close encounters of a special kind with Padre Pio: The Souls in Purgatory, The Guardian Angel, the devil. Everybody who met Padre Pio seemed convinced that he had a direct connection with the afterlife, and asked about a dead relative or friend. It was fascinating there was always an answer. Gerardo De Caro had long conversations with Padre Pio in 1943. In his written notes he testifies:  "Padre Pio had an exact knowledge of the state of a soul after death, including the duration of the pain until reached total purification." “More souls of the dead from Purgatory than of the living climb this mountain   to attend my Masses and seek my prayers.” "The souls in Purgatory pray for us, and their prayers are even more effective than ours, because they are accompanied by their suffering. So, let's pray for them, and let's pray them to pray for us." "You will be surprised to find in Paradise souls you never expected to b...

The Holy Mass with Padre Pio

Padre Pio said:  "If people knew the value of the Mass, there would be policemen at the door, to regulate the access to the church, every time that a Mass is celebrated" . Being at five in the morning near the altar of Padre Pio was really a close encounter of the special kind with the supernatural. The Mass of Padre Pio was a spectacular mystical event, mixing the height of the human complete immolation to God, that we could see, with a mystical and physical renewal of the Passion of Christ from the Garden to the Golgota, that we couldn't see, but were able to feel.       The Mass with Padre Pio "It is easier for the earth to be without the sun than without the mass. " From his own handwriting to his spiritual directors and the spiritual daughter Cleonice Morcaldi, we know that Padre Pio experienced during Mass the Passion of Jesus,  including the Agony in the Garden with the sweat of blood, the scourging, the crowning of th...
