Padre Pio

Devotees of Padre Pio say that his life proved that God intervenes directly in human affairs.  He was a deeply religious child and believed he had visionary experiences of angels and conversations with Jesus and Mary.  He heard heavenly choirs and believed he was harassed by “assaults of the devil.”
