... and a beautiful sunrise

as we made our way past his hospital

on our way to visit our beloved Padre Pio whose body is incorrupt in the crypt of the new Basilica.

We attended Mass for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the crypt of St. Pio Basilica.

Also, visited his museum with many relics.

More relics and letters Padre Pio received asking for prayers and healing people received.

Blessing with the stigmatic glove and crucifix.

One of our favorite 'works of mercy' is reaching out to children at the St. John Paul II Policlinic. We prayed with them and gifted them with World Mission Rosaries.

None of this could have happened without our faithful driver, Edgar. What a great guy!

Praying with more special children and their families.

We stopped to visit Maria at the International headquarters for the Padre Pio Prayer Groups.

Selfie with Pio!

December 12 is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Preborn Jesus Ministry and Jesus -The Divine Mercy Foundation reconsecrated our Prolife Ministries to Our Lady in Our Lady of Grace church in San Giovanni Rotondo.

We visited Lanciano to venerate Our Lord in His Real Presence in the Eucharistic Miracle. The miracle occurred to a Basilian monk in the 8th century who doubted the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. We viewed the original altar in the crypt where the actual miracle took place.

Back in Rome and a quick stop at the Coliseum and a view of St. Peter's.
