St. Pio: Prayer is the key to God's heart

Last July 9, the Tuesday Group, a prayer community in Tondo organized by the Knights of Saint Benedict, celebrated the birthday of one of its members in a very special way.

The group went on a pilgrimage to St. Pio of Pietrelcina Chapel in Libis, Quezon City.

The Tuesday Group members are one in saying that the mass held in the chapel was one of the most solemn eucharistic celebrations they have ever experienced. The extraordinary event was followed by anointing of oil and veneration of St. Pio's relic.

Overcome with the holiness of the place and the faithfulness of fellow pilgrims, the Tuesday Group also visited the prayer room and the meditation garden to further thank the Lord and ask for petitions through St. Pio, the stigmatic saint who shared the pains of Jesus and firmly believed that prayer is the key to God's heart.

The Knights of Saint Benedict highly recommends a pilgrimage to the chapel dedicated to this extraordinary Capuchin priest who has performed so many miracles, particularly in relation to health. St. Pio is also greatly invoked in the deliverance ministry.

The St. Pio of Pietrelcina Chapel (of the Philippine Centre for St. Pio of Pietrelcina, Inc.) is located at the RER Compound, 188 E. Rodriguez, Jr. Avenue (C-5), Bagumbayan, Quezon City 1110 Philippines
