Padre Pio was a Franciscan friar. He bore the wounds of Christ in his hands, feet, chest, (and shoulder).

There are well-documented cases of bilocation and other miracles. He was capable of “reading souls”—i.e., telling people their sins in confession. He was seen in the sky by Allied pilots during WWII.

Well worth reading about.
