Padre Pio: The Marian Prophet of Our Times | The Holy Mass, Co-Redemption, and the Cross

About this sermon

St. Padre Pio was a great Franciscan mystic, a devoted spiritual son of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a living witness to the sacrificial mystery of the Holy Mass. This homily for Padre Pio’s feast explores his extraordinary celebration of Mass, his mystical participation in the Passion of Christ, his stigmata and hidden shoulder wound, his profound love for Our Lady and his voluntary offering as a victim soul for sinners and the souls in Purgatory. People would gather outside the church before four in the morning to attend Padre Pio’s Mass, which could last between ninety minutes and three hours. For him, the altar was the “wine press of the Church,” where the sacred wine of Christ’s Precious Blood was poured out for souls. He urged the faithful to renew their faith at Mass, meditate upon the Divine Victim and never leave the altar without tears of sorrow and love. With permission from his spiritual father, Padre Benedetto, Padre Pio offered himself to the Lord for poor sinners and the souls in Purgatory. His suffering was not meaningless—it was a loving union with the Crucified Christ and a mission of consolation offered in union with the Blessed Virgin Mary. May Padre Pio teach us to reject mediocrity, embrace the Cross with Franciscan joy and participate more devoutly in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. 🙏 St. Padre Pio, pray for us! 0:00 IC Catholic Mobile 0:34 Opening Prayer 0:40 Glorying in the Cross of Christ 0:56 The Great Feast of Padre Pio 1:05 Padre Pio: Marian Prophet of Our Times 1:22 A Sign of Contradiction to the Modern World 1:42 Living the Mass in the Heart of Mary 2:06 A Soldier and Spiritual Son of Our Lady 2:21 Padre Pio’s Franciscan Spirituality 2:34 The Extraordinary Masses of Padre Pio 2:47 Masses Lasting Up to Three Hours 3:01 Meditating Upon the Victim of the Mass 3:14 Tears of Sorrow and Love at the Altar 3:25 The Graces Received Through Every Mass 3:42 Fr.
