St padre pio on meditation
Filomena Fini in 1913 married Cristoforo Fiorentino, brother of Lucia Fiorentino, also spiritual child of Padre Pio. Widow at age 28. She went daily to Padre Pio’s Mass.
Wrote a diary “News on Padre Pio”. “To follow Padre Pio it takes a lot of suffering.”
Vittorina Ventrella had a vision one night of a dazzling Padre Pio in heaven, with innumerable rays of light emanating from him.
The rays were formed by myriads of white and red roses. The morning after she went to Padre Pio for an explanation.
"Oh! you came to ask me about what you saw last night. The rays are the prayer groups;
the white roses are the souls who live in grace;
the red roses are the souls who carry the cross with me."
Meditate at least twice a day. No less than half hour each time. Possibly in the morning, to prepare for the fight, and at night to purify the soul from any earthly attachment that happened during the day."
