Why Father Pio asked Catholic priests to keep windows well closed Bashny.Net

Francesco Forgeone, known as Padre Pio, is a Catholic priest of Italian descent. Padre Pio was born on May 25, 1887 in a poor devout family. Since childhood, Padre dreamed of becoming a priest. In 1910, his dream came true, and Francesco Forgeone became a priest in his native town of Pietrelcina. He was conscripted several times when World War I broke out, but Padre Pio was sent home because he had health problems.



In 1918, Padre Pio, who was 31 years old at that time, developed stigmata on his hands and body. The stigma did not disappear, and doctors could not give a scientific explanation. The Holy See treated the priest with distrust. And only 10 years later, isolated from the whole world in his cell, Padre Pio became a celebrity in the monastery, where at that time he served. At the monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo there were long lines of believers who wanted to confess to Padre Pio.



A Catholic priest is credited with supernatural powers. Padre Pio could miraculously appear in several places at the same time. His stigmata, according to some witnesses, smelled of flowers. At the confession, Padre Pio could see the whole future life of the confessor.

Padre Pio healed people. The most famous case was the miraculous healing of a girl who had not seen anything since birth because she was born without pupils. After the blessing of Padre Pio, the girl saw the light. There are reports that one boy saw in a dream Padre Pio and healed from a serious illness.



The priest was considered insane, and only after leaving the world he was recognized as a saint in 2002. The stigmata that tormented the priest disappeared only after the death of Padre Pio. The Padre left behind interesting prophecies, which he wrote down immediately after the Lord spoke to him.



The prophecy of Padre Pio Francesco Forgeone saw the future through decades. In his notebook with valuable records kept secret in the Vatican, Padre Pio predicted devastation in 2060. Jesus promised to come down to earth when cities were destroyed. The cause of the disaster will be a war unleashed by the world’s largest state, and “no one will see this war.”

Padre Pio told people to close windows and doors because a large number of fire statues would fall to the ground and the air would be saturated with smoking gas. In 2060, part of Europe will disappear under water, and new lands will appear in the West, which people will inhabit and sincerely believe in God.



Prophecy is not far from reality. What is happening in the world today is very similar to the picture Padre Pio saw. A terrible, heartbreaking picture. Who could have imagined that in the twenty-first century, a civilized society that learned how to create robots, clones, learned how to stop diseases and even prolong youth, would easily fight like it was 100 years ago?

At one point, the civilization we longed for, the peace we had recently found since World War II, turned into ashes in one day. Thousands of peaceful people in Ukraine are now losing loved ones forever, saying goodbye to relatives in the yard of their home, without the opportunity to humanly bury their relatives.



While mothers are forced to leave a destroyed home to save their children, fathers remain to defend their homeland. We do not know what the new day will bring us, many are not sure that the next day will come for them. In this dark time, one can only pray and hope that Padre Pio was at least occasionally wrong in his prophecies.
