📝 VIDEO DESCRIPTION Padre Pio's life shows how God speaks to us in all sorts of ways In Pietrelcina, a young boy named Francesco Forgione—who would one day become Padre Pio—made a vow that would shape his entire life. From nightly rosaries with his family to quiet moments before the statue of Our Lady of Liberty, Francesco’s heart was captured by the Virgin Mary. This early devotion led him to offer his life and purity to her, a promise that remained with him throughout his priesthood. Through miracles, history, and personal encounters, Our Lady of Liberty guided Francesco, inspiring the faith and holiness that would later touch countless souls.
