Fr. Eric Nielsen joins Patrick to discuss Miracles: Padre Pio
- Who was Padre Pio and what miracles did he do?
- (14:03) Why do some people get miracles and others don’t?
- (17:19) Juliette - My father was in a bad accident. He is on a ventilator. Tried to remove it. Did not succeed. 84 years old. At what point is it too much. Miracle he survived. I feel like there have been some answered prayers. Is that a miracle in itself that he was able to communicate his wishes?
(22:05) Break 1
- (23:45) Helen - When my daughter was 3, my daughter had a brain tumor. She had tumor removed. Came back. Went through surgery again, I prayed and asked that she not suffer if she was going to be taken. Tumor disappeared and now she's 39 years old. She's my miracle baby.
- Does God allow bargaining?
- Dan - I worked as a hospice chaplain, and one of the greatest pieces of advice...sometimes we just need to get out of God's way and let God do what he needs to do. The miracle of bringing a soul to heaven is the ultimate miracle.
- (32:53) Brenda - My cousin heard mass by Padre Pio. Was part of my conversion to Catholicism.
(37:10) Break 2
- Barbara - Miracle when I was baptized. I was instantly delivered from smoking cigarettes. 45-year smoker.
- (41:59) Eileen - The priest who got me into my faith was leading a colorful life. Padre Pio told him he would become a priest one day. Love the story that he told him he would become a priest.
- Father shares an email about how can we pray when God doesn’t answer our prayer?
- (46:13) Brenda - Years after my mom passed, I was thinking about her and praying and walked to the living room and noticed a little star out of nowhere. I think it was a sign and miracle that she was there. Had this happen several other times. Miracle think it was the Lord saying 'I have them.'
