Okay....I've got to tell a personal story relating to an experience w/ Padre Pio. I know it sounds a little strange....but, here goes.
Years ago when dh and I were coming back to the catholic church, we attended a prayer conference. At that conference there were many tables of organizations that had spiritual and catholic books, tapes available.
About a week before attending this confernce, an acquaintence was telling us about Padre Pio, whom we had never heard of before.
At the confernce, there was one table which had a booklet titled "Padre Pio Counsels".....Dh saw it, picked it up and immediately had the scent of roses which lasted about a half an hour.
I know it sounds goofy, but after that dh got the booklet and started on a journey which would lead him to a develop a wonderful relationship w/ Padre Pio.
That's actually why we felt compelled to visit his place in Italy becasue dh had such a devotion to him. During our visit to his church in San Gionvanni, when going to the choir loft, dh had once again experienced the same scent of roses which he had years earlier at the conference.
