Lessons from my Favourite Saints: St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

In this episode of Weekly Wisdom, Father Corapi talks about one of his very favourite Saints, St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio). St. Pio was perhaps the saint who helped Fr.John move through many difficulties towards Ordination to the Priesthood. Father Corapi speaks about St. Pio and the Priesthood, his love for the Mass, his total dedication to souls through the confessional and the apostolate of the suffering, his many battles with the Devil, his love for Mary Immaculate, and other lessons from this Saint of our times.

Thanks Father for your effort to tell us all about Padre Pio..

[@lettybernal-ramos1503]

Two days ago, I just ran across Fr. Corapi's you tube preaching. I am hooked. I will add him to my prayer list. With so many praying for him and all the priest that preach the truth, God will in his time exonerate him and return him to ministry. Truly a prophet our times. He says it just like we all see it. Satan did not like this. So used the fabricated lies of that woman to shut him up. It suits the bishops in current issues affecting our church. We must fast, pray and do penance in reparation for all sins committed against God.

[@kathydonohue1674]

Since I was little I've been a St. Padre Pio lover. Oh there were teens I worked with who didn't like to go to mass at all. They were taken to difference conferences. At one in Cleveland Fr. DeGrandis was it's main speaker. He spoke to them first and gave each a book of his on teen forgiveness prayer. When they got home TV's were put on and St. Pio was on having mass. At our next meeting they told us that they didn't want to go to mass on Sunday's ONLY. Now it was as soon as they could. And they asked now what more that they could do for the church. Rosary's were tatted for them and we asked a priest to speak to them. Praise the Lord!

[@dalton7145]

Love saint pio, I asked him to be my patron saint when I was finally baptized into the Catholic Church at 47, I stopped going to Church with my mother when I was 13 or so, when my family was converting to the faith. When she died in 2016 I went back and finished what I started, thanks to my mother and Padre Pio!

[@GodBlessFrJCorapi]

Don't believe fake news, Father Corapi has never left the Catholic Church. ** This is a brief explanation outlining this heinous and vindictive false accusation (..in case you have been misinformed by the many lies that have been circulated by those who do not like Father's straightforward and undiluted teaching of authentic Catholic Doctrine.) - In March 2011, one of Fr. Corapi's ex-employees, a practising alcoholic and mentally unstable, levied a vicious accusation against Fr. Corapi of sexual misconduct, drugs abuse and financial improprieties, after her employment was appropriately terminated. She violently and physically attacked members of his staff and also threatened to destroy him. She fulfilled her threat and he was forced to resign from public ministry. Thousands of international catholics believe in his innocence. We have congregated across the world in staunch defense of his unjust victimization. We are spiritual warriors because of Fr. Corapi, and now we battle to reinstate his impeccable reputation, honor, and to deliver him from such accusations. He was ordained a Priest within the order of the Society of Our Lady of the Trinity, also known as S.O.L.T. He did not receive a fair hearing or review by Church authorities or by his peers. They demanded he surrender his civil and legal rights, which he refused to do. Within only three short weeks after the false accusation, mediated by a trio of unknown so called 'experts' who showed preferential treatment to the accuser, and he was finished. He was not even allowed to examine the evidence, much less defend himself. Not a single member of his staff was interviewed. Caught 'between a rock and a hard place' Father resigned from public ministry. The accuser was a lifelong drug addict and alcoholic, and a prostitute who has been jailed many times, as well as being married five times. She met a man who became employed by Fr. Corapi, and they soon married. It soon became a marriage of drugs and alcohol, arrest records prove this. The two became so incorrigible and disruptive to Fr. Corapi's ministry, he was simply forced to terminate their employment. She served as a manager within Fr. Corapi's preaching and teaching ministry and essentially acted as a director of all operations and communications. She had considerable knowledge of computers and IT expertise. Her husband had similar qualifications. The two of them combined had full control over Fr. Corapi's media operation; including telephones, text messaging, email, and all relevant sources of communications. Furthermore, they had access to private contacts and information regarding Fr. Corapi. They were in a perfect position to frame Father Corapi if they wished to do so. Upon her necessary termination, the accuser put her plan of vicious retribution into action as a means to destroy him and extort money from him. ln today's world certain bishops are not defending their priests. We, the members of the body of Christ, support Fr. Corapi and many other falsely accused priests throughout the world, and indeed there are many (over 1,000). The zero tolerance policies do not treat our Priests with the same rights as the accusers. It is impossible to find Fr. Corapi guilty of all those accusations by his ex-employee in a mere 3 weeks! SOLT's 'fact finding team' did not even interview employees at Santa Cruz Media, nor Fr. Corapi himself, nor anyone who was associated with him. Their claim of Fr. Corapi having inappropriate amounts of money is also an insult. The courts compensated Fr. Corapi after he became a whistleblower against a fraudulent healthcare company. Fr. Corapi gave so much to charitable institutions and to SOLT, yet the silence of his generosity is deafening. In a civil court of law this case would be thrown out immediately. One solitary letter of accusation without any evidence corroboration - just a mad woman's rants towards her ex-employer and the subsequent carrying out of those threats - would be an insult to the justice system. The Church rules proposed by the bishops, including 'zero tolerance' for Priests who faced allegations of abuse, were drawn up in a short amount of time under intense public scrutiny. Certain rash 'decisions' were made under intense heat and pressure, caused by the sex scandals inside the Church, to take drastic action in order to satisfy the demands of the media and public. This is clearly what happened to Fr. Corapi. He even offered to take a drugs test but they were not interested. That, within itself cries 'foul' - when the accused is offering his very own body to be examined only to be rejected, is indeed an injustice. SOLT's 'fact finding team' rushed through this decision to appease the likes of SNAP and many others who bear personal grudges against Priests. It is rather heartbreaking to know that Fr. Corapi's public ministry has been taken away by just one letter from an insane woman, even Officials in the Church now deem her to be unstable. They did not lift a finger to investigate this correctly through fear of scandal, yet by their actions they have caused more scandal. Father prays the Rosary and celebrates Mass daily for all his faithful supporters. He remains silent out of love for the Church and even though he is suffering in the aftermath of this false accusation, he will not go against the Church in any way. Until he is exonerated he will not be giving any talks or communicating publicly. Father John is offering this up for all, and in God's time He will exonerate him. Father Corapi was, and still is hated by the Evil One, as well as by many liberal individuals both outside and inside the Church. Some in the hierarchy were trying to silence him long before the false accusation was made against him in 2011, just as certain liberal Bishops tried to get rid of Mother Angelica when she was establishing EWTN, so obstacles are never far away. Some have even gone out of their way by misinforming the brethren that Father Corapi left the Church. Father loves the Church and never left the Church, he resigned from public ministry because he had no choice. He is, and always will be a Priest. We are doing everything possible to help clear his name and are very confident that Christ will soon win the victory for his chosen apostle Father John Corapi. Our Blessed Mother in Heaven will surely intercede for her beloved Priest who has brought thousands upon thousands of souls into, or back into, the Catholic Church by passing on the Faith without subverting or diluting it, unlike many Bishops, Priests and 'Theologians' are doing today. Fr. Corapi's Catechism series and many of his other talks on our Facebook Page and KZbin channel are still bringing new converts into the Catholic Church, as well as bringing back fallen away cradle Catholics - we don't make this claim lightly - the proof is in the public comments. Please tell your friends and family to pray and do penance for more than one thousand falsely accused Priests worldwide, and to continue watching Father's videos on our KZbin Channel where they are all freely accessible. God bless you and keep you safe. kzbin.info/door/yvpGjfRsSPEse8fWGuEO0Qplaylists

Our Blessed Mother in Heaven has interceded for her beloved Priest many times before and helped him to bring thousands upon thousands of souls into, or back into, the Catholic Church by passing on the Faith without subverting or diluting it, unlike many Bishops, Priests and so called 'Theologians' are doing today by their deafening silence on such sins as Abortion, Homosexual sex & 'marriage', Transgenderism, Euthanasia etc. Fr. Corapi's Catechism series and many of his other talks on our Facebook Page and KZbin channel are still bringing new converts into the Catholic Church, as well as bringing back fallen away cradle Catholics - we don't make this claim lightly, the proof is in the public comments. Please tell your friends and family to pray and do penance for more than one thousand falsely accused Priests worldwide, and to continue watching Father's videos on our KZbin Channel where they are all freely accessible. God bless you and keep you safe. kzbin.info/door/yvpGjfRsSPEse8fWGuEO0Qplaylists

You Rock Father Corapi! One day you came to San Antonio. St. Lawerence and during Mass (the consecration ) I was feeling a horrific pain in my back due to walking pneumonia ; after communion I was totally healed. No fever, no pain and I could breath. You asked everyone to go to confession especially the men. You asked for a music minister and I was your music ministry. I love you Father Corapi~
