Saint of the Day, September 22: Saint Pio of Pietrelcina

St. Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968): Padre Pio was the first priest to ever receive the stigmata. His life was full of miracles. He would hear confessions for several hours every day, where he would read the consciences of those who held back. He was known to bilocate, levitate, and heal by touch.
