Some time ago, my special prayer petition was taken to Saint Padre Pio's tomb. I had a dear childhood friend, Timothy, who had been homeless for five years after struggling with addiction and depression. He had no family and his whereabouts was unknown to all of his former friends, including myself. I was able to send a written prayer petition concerning Timothy with another friend who was visiting the tomb of Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo.
Not long after this, out of
millions of homeless people, my old friend, Timothy was chosen to be helped in
a special way by a non-profit organization that works to rehabilitate those who
are addicted and in great need. They raised a lot of money for him, sent him to
rehab, and found distant family members that he never knew he had. His
relatives then took him in to their home. He now lives near them, has a job and
an apartment. He is happy with his new life. The odds of this happening and of
me finding out about it stagger all comprehension and I give all glory to all
powerful and all loving God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, through the intercession
of Padre Pio.
