o padre pio for me, through his interssesion, i pulled through, but after rehab went back to the old life style for four years,including prison,in 1998 i attended a padre pio day at my local parish,to win brownie points and during adoration i had an overwhelming need for confession,and had confession before holy mass andwas able to recieve communion for the first time in over 15 years, when i got home from church i was contacted by some peole from a family house of prayer whom i had spoken to a couple of years earlier,to ask if i would like to go to medgegorje free, i went, and have since been almost 40 times,ive cycled from lourdes to fatima for charity, im regularly staying with franciscan friars i know,im clean,soder, regularly at mass,started a small rosary group an love praying,life is amazing, thanks to st pio i was healed and had my conversion and he led me to our lady,who inturn has led me to her son jesus,
