St. Padre Pio - Saints Who Walked with God - Class 1

Saints Who Walked with God - Class 1 of 4 with David G presented on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at Ananda Palo Alto, California.
St. Padre Pio
A Capuchin monk and mystic of the 20th century, his life was marked with miracles and extraordinary challenges. His personal power overwhelmed many.
His compassion reached thousands through the hospital he spent a lifetime building. He could suddenly appear at the side of those in need, thousands of miles from his tiny room. He read the deepest secrets in the hearts of those who came to confession. A stirring and remarkable spiritual life.
Ananda's teachings are based on those of Paramhansa Yogananda as expressed by his disciple, Swami Kriyananda, the founder of Ananda.

Whoever this speaker is While many of the things he said are True , for which I compliment him there is one ,to put it humbly "untruth" Padre Pio never told anyone about the sins that were confessed to him In fact he called many Practices Heresy I have been reading the Life of Padre Pio for 35 years.

Padre Pio, when he said, I am such a wretch, KNEW the depths, and darkness of sin, even small sin. To even hesitate when one knows the will of God in a given situation, or one believes as Padre Pio did, that in his obedience to his superior, was God WILL, and any, situation, any orders from the Vatican or any situation you can't avoid, DOES COME FROM GOD, BY HIS EXPRESS WILL OR HIS PERMISSIVE WILL, (He allows people who chose only to serve themselves (their own will ); He as Creator, can choose to allow them to fall into a fallen lifestyle. To even hesitate but a moment, when one believes he knows the will of God, is contradictory. There are many stories of saints who still imperfect hesitated, even when an angle or Heavenly saint appears, or like Moses, GOD ordered to strike the stone but once and water would come forth, Moses struck the stone twice, and for that transgression, Moses never entered the promised land. Or Jona and the whale, and many other stories. Sin ...all sin, and our imperfections, all must be washed away in the ocean of DIVINE LOVE. One cannot make themselves humble. Striving with OURSELVES toward our goal...itself will make anyone humble, because year after year, we are constantly falling flat on our faces. Thank God for that, that will keep anyone humble for real, Padre Pio traveled far into this mystery where LOVE meets the fallen soul, that love becomes the more present the more we free ourselves with the help of Grace, from attachments from this world. "Not by the will of the flesh, not by nature, nor by the will of man, are we healed, but by the grace of God" Sorry, I forgot the scripture verse ,I think it is in John,(?), it is there, the same as I tried to write it here.

[@enrico43869]

bible is not oly at all...only MEDITATION and DIRECT ESPERIENCE of GOD can give salvation...

[@stephendufort4154]

In books, one searches for God, in PRAYER, not meditation...TO be sure meditation in Padre Pio sense is meditating on the bible or stories etc.contemplation is more like what u mean and more related to Yogananda Kriya yoga. Prayer then is different, and he said "Prayer", not 'meditation', please, that is a misquote.

[@maryhaile7317]

[@jessiesnider7704]

People would assault him. Tare of pieces of his habit n etc. He twirled his rosary to keep them away. By the way one can't fake the stigmata. Impossible. 50yrs.a few weeks before his death they disapeared keaving NO trace. Get a grip people.
