00:24The morning of September 23, 1968
00:28The faithful who had flocked to San Giovanni Rotondo
00:31To attend Padre Pio's mass
00:33They learn from the ringing of the bell
00:35The death of the religious man
00:37A deep sadness descends upon the crowd
00:40Which increases by the hour
00:42As the news spreads
00:51He passed away during the night
00:53Standing
00:54As he had always wished
00:55After another of his busy days
00:58In which he had celebrated and confessed
01:00As it has done continuously for 50 years
01:03Now his body
01:05Composed by the brothers in the coffin
01:06He is exposed to the last farewell
01:08Of those who loved and venerated him in life
01:14The death of the religious man
01:19The death of the religious man
01:42An endless column
01:44Which is getting thicker and thicker
01:46And that from the churchyard reaches up to the altar
01:48It tests the endurance of men
01:50Security personnel
01:51Because everyone wants to stop
01:53Before the remains of him
01:55Whom they admired for their sanctity
01:56And the simplicity of life
01:58Which helped them to find their way back to God
02:00Which made it less bitter
02:02Their days on earth
02:24How many people have touched the coffin?
02:26In the four days and three nights
02:28Where his remains were exposed
02:30The newspapers speak of one hundred thousand
02:52The funeral procession
02:54It will have to complete 5-6 kilometers of route
02:57Through the streets of San Giovanni Rotondo
02:58In a sea of crowds
02:59To meet the demands of those
03:01Who were the most direct witnesses
03:03Of the life of the humble religious
03:26Who was Padre Pio?
03:28There's no point in asking
03:29Because of the fame of his holiness
03:31It has crossed the borders of the small town in the Foggia area
03:34And it reached everyone's ears
03:35The Friar of the Stigmata
03:38The friar who reads souls
03:40A voice that even the church
03:42Prudent and severe in this matter
03:43She didn't worry
03:45Especially in recent years
03:46To deny
03:47A humble friar
03:49But endowed with extraordinary virtues
03:51That have attracted him madly
03:52From all over the world
03:55Telling his life story is not easy
03:57Because it is free from external events
04:02Born in Pietrelcina
04:03May 25, 1887
04:05A town in the Benevento area
04:07On top of a hill
04:08Which owes its fame
04:09To the Franciscan
04:10Which passed here
04:11His first 15 years of life
04:29A small village made up of a maze of narrow streets
04:31That twist around the upper part
04:33Where the castle once stood
04:38A country inhabited mainly by old people
04:403,000 inhabitants at the time of Padre Pio
04:433,000 today
04:56The Forgione family was not among the poorest in the country
04:59The father, a farmer
05:00He worked on his own a small landowner
05:02Enough to feed the wife and children
05:05Francesco, the firstborn
05:06He was born in this house at number 27
05:08On Via Santa Maria degli Angeli
05:17This is the kitchen
05:19These are the furniture and furnishings
05:20Reduced to the essentials
05:22As was customary in peasant homes at the end of the century
05:24When little Italy was taking its first steps
05:40His is an entirely internal story.
05:43At ten years old, Francis felt a religious vocation.
05:47At fifteen he entered the novitiate of the Capuchin fathers
05:50And he takes the name of Fra Pio
05:52In 1904 he took his first vows
05:55In 1910 he was ordained a priest
05:59His poor health forced him to alternate between convent life and
06:03With long convalescences at home
06:04Until his superiors sent him to the convent of San Giovanni Rotondo
06:09Isolated on the rocky cliffs of the Murge
06:12And here the extraordinary thing happens
06:15Which determines the course of his life
06:17Like Saint Francis
06:19Padre Pio receives the stigmata
06:27This is what the friar tells his spiritual director
06:30What happened on the morning of September 20, 1918
06:33In choir in front of the large crucifix
06:38I saw a mysterious character before me
06:41Who had hands and feet dripping blood
06:43What I felt in that moment I couldn't say.
06:47I felt like dying
06:49And I would have died if the Lord had not intervened
06:52To support the heart
06:53That I felt leaping from my chest
06:59Then the character's sight receded
07:02And I noticed that his hands, feet and side
07:05They were perforated and dripping blood.
07:10The stigmata of the crucified Christ
07:13They had imprinted themselves on his flesh
07:42The news of the stigmatized friar
07:45It spreads like wildfire
07:46And the church and the convent are stormed
07:48From crowds of people
07:50Eager to see with their own eyes
07:52To touch with your own hands
07:54People hardly know how to live with the saint
07:59The brothers
08:00Worry about the consequences
08:01That certain manifestations can cause
08:04To the good reputation of the holy religious man
08:05They resort to every expedient
08:07To keep the curious away
08:14Padre Pio
08:15He suffers and is silent
08:16By order of the Holy See
08:18He undergoes clinical tests
08:19Which are prescribed to him
08:21And a few years later
08:22Obeys decisions
08:23Of ecclesiastical authority
08:25Which forbids him to celebrate
08:26The public mass
08:27To confess
08:28To receive visits
08:30To maintain correspondence
08:32With whoever it is
08:33The soul of the holy religious
08:35It bends obediently
08:36At the will of the superiors
08:38Like that of a child
08:45He is completely isolated
08:48But people keep pushing
08:50He can't understand
08:52The reason for a decision
08:53Which he considers unfair and inappropriate
08:55For two years
08:57The doors will remain hermetically closed
09:09How close he got to Padre Pio
09:11This isolation
09:12Which prevented him from carrying out
09:13His ministry as confessor
09:15Of comforter of souls
09:16The brothers testify to this
09:18That in that test
09:19They were closer to him
09:21But not a word of criticism
09:22It came out of his lips
09:25If they could talk
09:27The walls of this cell
09:28Where he spent his 50th birthday
09:30Of his monastic life
09:31And tell the pains of his heart
09:33And the excruciating pains
09:35Which gave him the stigmata
09:36And the sleepless nights
09:37We would be deeply moved
09:39And amazed
09:41Here everything has remained as before
09:43The bed
09:44The rosary crown
09:46And the clock that marked the hours
09:48The minutes of his long vigils
09:50In union with Christ
09:58The morning was the first
10:00Going down to church
10:01To prepare for the celebration
10:02Of the mass
10:03Which was the most awaited moment
10:05And more importantly
10:05Of his day
10:10Who saw it?
10:11With the body curled up
10:12On the kneeler
10:13And the concentrated spirit
10:14In the most absolute recollection
10:16He understood
10:17What does it mean to pray?
10:29During the Holy Year of 1933
10:31Pope Pius X
10:32It allows the religious
10:34To return to celebrate
10:35Mass in public
10:36And in San Giovanni Rotondo
10:37The demonstrations are renewed
10:39Of first faith
10:42When at 4:30 sharp
10:44The doors open
10:45The faithful flock
10:46At a date in the nave
10:48To occupy the top spots
10:49Close to the altar
10:50Where Padre Pio celebrates
11:12For 50 years
11:13People have overcome
11:15The inconveniences of a journey
11:16In a country outside
11:17From the main streets
11:18Of communication
11:18He often spent
11:20The night keeps watch
11:21Just to assist
11:22At Padre Pio's mass
11:23Why Padre Pio's Mass
11:25It wasn't a mass
11:26Like the others
11:31One had the impression
11:33And this is the memory
11:34Which remained more alive
11:35In those who witnessed it
11:36That it be cancelled
11:38Every distance of space
11:39And of time
11:39And that the sacrifice of Christ
11:41It renewed itself before our eyes
11:43Of all
11:43As on Calvary
11:47What was happening
11:48In his soul
11:49And in his body
11:50During the celebration
11:52We learned it
11:53From the answers
11:54Which he gave
11:55To a brother
11:56Who was questioning him
11:58Father
11:59Why do you cry at the offertory?
12:01Because it's time
12:03That the soul
12:03It is separated from the profane
12:22Father
12:23Why do you suffer so much?
12:25At the consecration
12:26Because it's right there
12:28What happens
12:29A new one
12:30Admirable destruction
12:31And creation
12:32No tears
12:34But torrents of tears
12:36I would like to pour
12:37You don't think about it
12:39To the tremendous mystery
12:40What a God
12:41He is a victim
12:41Of our sins
12:49Father
12:50What's happening
12:51In communion
12:53Jesus
12:54He delights himself
12:54In his creature
12:55It's a fusion
12:57Like two candles
12:59That blend together
13:00And they are no longer distinguishable
13:08The mass
13:09If they didn't intervene
13:10The brothers
13:11Who assisted him
13:12It could last for hours
13:13There was so much transport
13:15With which renewing
13:16The sacrifice
13:16Of the cross
13:17He lent to Christ
13:18His eyes
13:19His mouth
13:20His hands
13:21Suffering
13:22The unlikely
13:24It was a mass
13:25That did not leave
13:26Nobody
13:27Indifferent
13:27We were
13:29A spectator comments
13:30Like blind people
13:31Around someone
13:32What do you see?
13:47In the evening a show
13:54What do you see?
13:55What do you see?
13:57What do you see?
13:59What do you see?
13:59What do you see?
14:00What do you see?
14:05Who was Padre Pio in everyday life?
14:08A simple friar, a Capuchin friar like all the others.
14:19He hid the signs and exceptional gifts that God had given him
14:22with a good-natured, cheerful demeanor, peppered with witticisms.
14:38Convent life does not change with the passage of time.
14:41Everything is codified by rules, by disciplines.
14:58In winter, at the hour of the common fire,
15:00He gathered with his brothers to talk and recite the rosary.
15:05His jokes, frank Neapolitan accent,
15:08they kept the company cheerful
15:09and allowed him to escape the overly attentive attentions on his person.
15:24The pastoral service of ministers.
15:28Christ did not come to be served, but to serve.
15:33At mealtimes he went down to the refectory with the others,
15:36but his eating was extremely frugal.
15:39Therefore the ministers, servants of others,
15:42do not exercise authority as masters,
15:44but they serve the other friars,
15:46giving them spirit and life through example and word.
15:53His day was spent between the altar and the confessional.
15:56in the presence of the crucified Jesus whom he felt in his flesh.
16:02For 50 years he was a prisoner of the confessional.
16:14People arrived in San Giovanni Rotondo,
16:16as well as to listen to his mass,
16:18even to confess.
16:24Rumor had spread that he had a special eye for reading souls.
16:29As the crowd grew,
16:31it was necessary to set up a booking service
16:34so as not to disappoint the expectations of many
16:36who were facing a long journey
16:38and sometimes they stayed for entire weeks
16:40in the lodgings of San Giovanni Rotondo.
16:48After mass,
16:49the women gathered around the confessional.
16:52He arrived accompanied by his brothers
16:55charged with opening the way for him
16:56and to protect it from overly heated demonstrations
16:59that the penitents staged.
17:02He welcomed prayer requests,
17:04but when necessary he knew how to shake the cord
17:06in the face of those who were being intrusive.
17:20His confessions were short-lived,
17:22five minutes at most,
17:24but in those five minutes
17:25the soul was laid bare,
17:27searched.
17:30Who came out of his confessional,
17:32men, priests,
17:33people of all ages and social conditions,
17:35he felt regenerated,
17:37as if a ray of mysterious light
17:39had penetrated it,
17:40untangling doubts and knots
17:42which had remained entangled for years.
17:58The church dedicated to Santa Maria delle Grazie
18:00which stands next to the convent
18:02and the grand hospital
18:03they are the fruit of the generosity of the penitents
18:06and friends of Padre Pio.
18:15San Giovanni Rotondo also grew thanks to Padre Pio.
18:19When the Franciscan first arrived in 1918,
18:23it was just a small web of houses,
18:25almost none of them went above the floor.
18:27A small mountain village
18:29with just over a thousand inhabitants.
18:32Today it has exceeded 25,000
18:34and housing has expanded
18:36on all slopes of the mountain
18:38until connecting the ancient village with the convent,
18:41once isolated among the rocks.
18:48And the city is constantly growing
18:50for the call and the nostalgia
18:52of the Franciscan saint.
19:14Since 1968
19:17Padre Pio no longer moves
19:19than in a wheelchair.
19:20He says
19:22I prefer to be taken to the confessional
19:24rather than give up on confessing.
19:27His hands marked by the wounds of the cross
19:29they land on the heads of visitors
19:32which have multiplied in 50 years.
19:37But it is in the sacrament of forgiveness
19:39face to face with souls
19:40that he pours out the gifts of redemption
19:43to which Christ associated him.
20:02Its great simplicity
20:04as well as the fame of special gifts
20:06with which God had endowed him
20:08he attracted people around him
20:09of all conditions and social classes
20:11for which one word was often enough
20:14a look to comfort them.
20:21The short conversation then continued with prayer.
20:24before God
20:25in a request made with painful accents
20:28and passionate.
20:30He cried while praying.
20:34Why is he crying?
20:36The astonished crowd asked themselves as they attended his mass.
20:39How not to cry he replied
20:41if Jesus is always nailed to the cross
20:44if his blood flows for so many men in vain.
20:53Those who flocked to him
20:55from all over Italy and the world
20:56millions of people
20:58which will never be possible
20:59to have an exact statistic
21:00they certainly didn't come
21:02to listen to a speaker.
21:04Padre Pio rarely spoke in public
21:06and if he did it
21:07it was only for very short minutes.
21:10They didn't come to assist
21:11to miraculous or extraordinary events
21:13but to see a friar
21:15a simple friar
21:16to attend his mass
21:18and if possible
21:19to confess.
21:22A meeting of souls then
21:24a spiritual encounter.
21:33Often in the evening
21:34he was ending his day
21:35looking out of the window
21:37of his cell
21:37to greet people
21:39which had gathered in the square.
21:48A greeting
21:49which also repeats in the evening
21:50of September 21, 1968
21:52just a few hours away
21:54since his death
21:55and that the crowd
21:57he tried to prolong
21:58as if he sensed
22:00his end.
22:12No, no, no, no, no.
22:40Thank you all.
