Padre Pio and the Transfiguration: Why Christ Showed His Glory Before the Cross Padre Pio often meditated on the Transfiguration—when Jesus revealed His divine glory to the apostles before entering His Passion. The same three who saw Him radiant on Mount Tabor would later see Him crushed in Gethsemane. This was no contradiction. It was a lesson: before asking them to share in His suffering, Christ gave them a glimpse of His majesty. Padre Pio, who bore the wounds of Christ, understood that moments of divine light are given to strengthen us for trials. He teaches us that fidelity in suffering becomes possible when we carry the memory of God’s glory in our hearts. The Transfiguration reminds every soul: Christ is both the suffering servant and the glorious King—and those who follow Him must be ready to embrace both. 🙏 Watch now to witness how Padre Pio helps us embrace both the Cross and the glory! 🙏 Become a Protected Child of Padre Pio ➡️ Click here to join now https://followingpadrepio.org/become-a-protected-child Would you like Padre Pio to intercede for you every week at the altar?
