September 23 is the feast day of St.  Pio of Pietrelcina, belovèd padre and miraculous stigmatist.

To help keep him in your heart always, and today especially, check out the following resources:

• Special devotions are available on Padre Pio Devotions.
• One of the nicest sites, EWTN’s Padre Pio site features a wealth of background information, as well as audio links to Fr. Andrew Apostoli’s excellent Padre Pio: He Bore Christ’s Wounds lecture series.
• If Fr. Apostoli’s lecture series leaves you hungering for more information, you can read the Wikipedia article or these biographies.
• Have you ever wondered what his voice sounded like? This site has many recordings, including the Pater Noster (Our Father) — in Latin, of course.
• Read the Voice of Padre Pio newsletter.
• Check out the ‘official site’, with many important links.
• Pilgrimage to San Giovanni Rotondo or the National Center for Padre Pio in Pennsylvania.
