One night, while praying alone, Padre Pio opened his eyes to find an old man standing before him. Confused, he asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”
The man replied, “I am Pietro Di Mauro. I died in this friary in 1908, and I am still in purgatory. I need a holy Mass to be freed.”
Padre Pio promised to pray for him. The next day, he discovered records confirming the man’s death exactly as described.
This wasn’t the only time souls from purgatory sought Padre Pio’s prayers. He once said, “As many souls of the dead come up this road as that of the souls of the living.”
A powerful reminder of the importance of prayer and the Mass for the faithful departed!
