The Rosary has always been throughout his life his favorite prayer, but why? Why
Padre Pio was a true son of Mary, and knew that the Rosary is the favorite prayer of Our Lady.
longed much excited by saying, "I wish I had a voice so strong to invite the sinners of the world to love Madonna. But since this is not in my power, I begged my angiolino for me to make this office "(Ep I 277), and in another letter:" I would fly to invite all creatures to love Mary (I Ep 357 ).
If we were to measure the 'love of Padre Pio, Our Lady of the Rosary recited by the number, then we might as well call it mad love to the "Beautiful Mommy."
It is said that a little girl asked her mother what was the Rosary and this he replied that the Rosary is the story of Jesus told by Madonna, and this is how Padre Pio lived, that always recite the Rosary. Always tighten the crown with those bloody hands was the way to always be hand in hand with making the Madonna shape the image of His Son, and so he became a copy of Christ to the top, so as to bring in his body the stigmata of Lord for over 50 years.
Padre Pio, as well as model be praying the Rosary, also shows us how it should be said. "Attention must be paid Ave - he said - the greeting that addresses the Virgin in the mystery covering. In all the mysteries she was present in all participated with love and grief "(by Fr Tarcisio Cervinara, Padre Pio and Our Lady, San Giovanni Rotondo, 1993, p. 30).
Usually, the point of death will leave a legacy of the most expensive, and Padre Pio has left a legacy to his children the Holy Rosary. Shortly before his death, in fact, some of his spiritual children who asked him to tell them something, he replied: "Love the Madonna and make her loved. Always recite the rosary. "
not let his words fall on deaf ears, and those who say that the Rosary is outdated respond as Blessed Pius himself said to his brother who told him: "'Father, today said that the Rosary has had its day ... In many churches no longer reads. " Padre Pio said: "Satan always seeks to destroy this prayer, but there will ever: it is the prayer of her who triumphs over everything and everyone. And she taught us, as Jesus taught us the Lord's Prayer" (SM Manelli, Holy Rosary and Saints, p. 93).
