I was in the emergency room with my mother and we had just gotten the news her cancer explosively spread.
I had contacted some friends in Abadiania to put in prayers. However, it was after hours at the Casa for that day.
So I started praying, and I was considering doing trance work myself. I asked her if she wanted help from the Casa. She said “No, the man with the gloves came already, it came off smelling like roses.”
That was Padre Pio with his trademark gloves covering the stigmata on his hands. I’ve been told it has the smell of roses.
He was there through the entire process and my mom’s eventual death.
I have also seen him at the Casa helping others during the rosary.
He is the best and I am eternally grateful.
