Yesterday, I got to visit the Padre Pio Shrine For the second time. This time, I was with my family.
I started my day with a breakfast takoyaki rice bowl. It was surprisingly delicious!
I knitted in the car.
And before I knew it, we were already there at the shrine. I purchased a magnet for my collection and a bottle of pain relief oil for a friend.
We walked along the Shrine and prayed at the various spots in the compound. My favorite spot there was at the main church, where this huge sign serves as a reminder for everyone.
The place holds a special spot in my heart because Padre Pio is a powerful intercessor. His life is also a shining example of the transforming ability of faith.
Indeed, I will pray, hope, and remind myself to don’t worry!
I also bought personalized keychains from this fun stall.
I feel blessed to have revisited the Shrine and I am thankful that this time, I am stronger in faith. I will keep on going, because I am confident that Padre Pio will always pray for my intentions.
