Thank you for coming out on this Marian pilgrimage, Padre Pio. I'm glad you're feeling up to it. I'm more than up to it, Padre. We need to pray for your health and your burdens. Me?
No. Pray for the people. For our soldiers. They're suffering. I'm just longing to your confessions again.
How are your hands
and your side? My hands? Perfect. Just look at them. I've never been better. You know what I'm asking. I do. And they mean it. Never better than now. So you will be returning to the monastery. Padragostino wants me to, but I believe the Lord still wants me in Pietralcina.
Last time he was here he mentioned becoming a diocesan priest might be an option.
How does the outbreak of World War I affect Padre Pio’s vocation?
No, I'm a capuchin.
The Bishop of Benevento would be happy to have you. Would it be so awful to be a parish priest like me?
It's beautiful to be a diocesan priest, Padre. But this isn't up to me. My vocation is eternal. Jesus decides. I'm a cappuccin.
A capuchin who's yet to live in a monastery. You'll have to figure that out.
Our Lord will. Like I said, it's up to him. Is that someone in the church? Sounds like it. I'll take a look. Mm. Daughter? What's wrong? My baby. Uh Ha ha ha ha Look at my baby, Padre. She's barely moving. Let me pray with you. If my husband even comes back from the war. He'll return to a dead son. Ave Maria. Remember your children. Why won't God heal him, padre? Why won't he hear him? Ha ha ha Ha ha ha Ha ha
Why does Padre Pio decide to return to Pietrelcina despite his frail condition?
Ik denk niet. Let me hold him. I'll give him a blessing. Huh? No hard. Please. Padre. His eyes are open! Mama? Why are you crying? You healed him, padre! You worked a miracle for us! Grazie, Padre! Grazie! A miracle! Don't speak nonsense! It's Jesus who has healed him. Mama Here we go home for a snack, bliss. Of course somebody mia Thank you, Padre. Grazie. Thank our Lord, daughter. He has done great things for us.
Бека ореди падрей. Has it really been six months? I'm back. You said six months. All right. Let's see where I can put you. You got your file? Yes, uh here it is. Let's see your updated fitness report.
What miracle does Padre Pio perform for the grieving mother and child?
Mm. Still a name, padre. Give me something to work with. How about uh chaplaincy, a spiritual support for the soldiers? Here's another report. It's abysmal. Shouldn't you be dead by now? That's what they say, but here I am. You're not uh contagious, are you? Some people seem to get better around me, not worse. So I don't think so. Captain, a memorandum from the Sonso Riverfront. Its origin. Show me. Padre for Johnny. Go home and await further orders. Yes, sir. Here's your file. Let's go. This way, sir. Actually. Just a moment. This man is a priest. Padry Give us a quick blessing, will you? Of course, may Almighty God bless and protect you both, and all our soldiers. Amen. Grazie, Padre.
Now arriving in Benevento. Ah, last stretch. Just need to get on the bus to get Rechina. Padre Pio. Yeah.
How is Padre Pio assigned to serve as chaplain for the soldiers?
Padre Agostino. What are you doing here? I got your letter that you were returning from Naples today. What a surprise. Thanks for coming to meet me. It'll be nice to have company on the bus to Pietralcina. We're not going to Pietracina, Pio. What? Why not? This way, onto this platform. The terrain to Falja will depart shortly from this platform.
Why are we going to Foggia, Padre Agostino? Taking you home, Padre Pio. What do you mean? When I got your letter I saw it clear. It's time to bring you back to your cappuccin brothers. But padre, they're expecting me in Pietrelcina. I know. Padre Salvatore tells me the locals have developed a sense of protection over you. It's a small town. I grew up there. They're loving people. And they'll come and see you at the monastery of Santana. Your brothers need you, and you need your brothers.
