The Miraculous Heart Relic Of Saint Padre Pio
arrived at Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral past 10:00 AM yesterday.
Upon the arrival of the Heart Relic,
dancers welcomed with ritual dancing under the heat of the sun. It gathered a huge crowd that the church overflowed. The mass was presided by Archbishop Jose Palma along with other priests and the mass ended past 12:00 noon already. After mass, there was a very long queue of people who were eager to venerate the Heart Relic which went down the street. Literally, thousands of people had touched the Heart Relic which was in cased in glass and people just wipe the glass with their handkerchiefs ​or whatever they had with them knowing that the Heart Relic was a miraculous one. It has been known to cure ailing people with whatever disease they had provided they believe in miracles and they had faith in Almighty God. At almost 8:00 PM, a solemn procession brought the Heart Relic around downtown Cebu City with hundreds if not thousands joining in. Upon arriving back at the cathedral, the very long line of people wanting to touch and wipe to venerate continued even up to late at night. ​A healing mass followed after. Padre Pio, also known as Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, (May 25, 1887 – September 23, 1968), was a friar, priest, stigmatist, and mystic, now venerated as a saint of the Catholic church. Born Francesco Forgione, he was given the name of Pius (Italian: Pio) when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. Padre Pio became famous for exhibiting stigmata for most of his life, thereby generating much interest and controversy. He was both beatified (1999) and canonized (2002) by Pope John Paul II. The Sanctuary of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina is located in San Giovanni Rotondo, Province of Foggia, Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padre_Pio
