Mark, Thank you for posting this. Padre Pio is well deserved of sainthood.

Not many people know how he bilocated during the War and guided planes away from danger.

Yes, I agree — Padre Pio is well deserving of sainthood.

I was told this by an Air Force friend. He and his wife went to Padre Pio for confession. The line of people waiting was very long, and they ran out of time, so they told the monk at the door that they had to give up their places in line. As they were driving about 20 miles away, their car was suddenly filled with the fragrance of lilacs — in winter. They went back and told the monk at the door. He said, “Yes, that would be about when I told Padre Pio that you had to give up your places in line, and he sent you his blessing. This is often reported.”
