A Testimony of Grace:
Ray Neameyer was a military pilot who was stationed in Italy during World War 2. He visited San Giovanni and felt honored to meet Padre Pio. Once, when Ray was flying a twin engine fighter known as a P38, one of the engines blew up during the flight. Black smoke was pouring out of the plane, indicating the extreme danger of the situation.

Luckily he managed to return to the base on one engine. Later, the head mechanic who worked on Ray’s plane confided in him. He told him that he had worked as a mechanic for many years and had witnessed a number of serious aircraft accidents. Referring to Ray’s safe landing, the mechanic said, “That was an act of God if I ever saw one!” Before Ray had left San Giovanni Rotondo, Padre Pio had put his hand on his head in a blessing. He did the same to the other soldiers who were with Ray. He prayed that they would all return home safely.

A Testimonial:
In 1958 I was able to make a trip to Rome to visit the Holy Father, Pope Pius Xll. Three other priests from my diocese in Philadelphia accompanied me on the trip…After that we went to Padre Pio’s monastery in San Giovanni Rotondo. I didn’t know quite what to expect because at that time I did not know too much about Padre Pio. I will say that if there were any doubts in my mind about Padre Pio, those doubts disappeared when I attended his Mass.

The church was very crowded that day. When Padre Pio came into the church, a hush fell over the congregation. It was so quiet during Mass, you could have heard a pin drop. His Mass was awe-inspiring. I was very close to the altar and I could see the blood from the wounds in his hands. It was glistening.

After the Mass, I along with the three priests I was with, had the privilege to each receive an individual blessing from Padre Pio. I was the first to receive the blessing. He put his hand on my head and prayed for me. I will say that I felt that I did not want to wash my hair, feeling that the blood from his wounded hand touched it.

A Testimony:
“While assisting the homeless, I met a woman named Joanna. She had been living on the streets for seven years. Each day I would take Joanna food and money. As the winter months became brutally cold, Joanna mentioned to me that she was unsure as to whether she could handle another cold winter sleeping on the sidewalk. I asked Joanna if she knew who Padre Pio was. She said she had heard of him but knew very little about him. I told Joanna that I was going home to light a candle near my Padre Pio statue and that I would have a long talk with Padre Pio about her situation, which I did. The next time I went to see Joanna, she was putting all her belongings in an old car. I said, “Joanna, where are you going?” She said, “I am not going anywhere. A nice lady donated this old car to me and now I have a warm place to sleep.” I knew right then and there that Padre Pio had answered my prayers."
