A woman from San Giovanni Rotunda watched her sick husband go from bad to worse and sink rapidly towards death. In great distress , she ran to the monastery to get Padre Pio to pray for his recovery but could not get past the crowds.
She could not wait in the long line for confession to see him so prayed interiorly that Padre Pio would help her husband who , at any moment might die and leave her alone to bring up their children.
When she saw Padre Pio move to the altar to celebrate Mass she dashed over there but was engulfed in the crowds again, she tried going to the right, then the keft but could not reach him. So she prayed interiorly again, filled with anguish that wrenched her heart, because of her husband’s condition.
When Mass was over she managed to squeeze through into the corridor he would use to return to the monastery and continued to pray again. Padre Pio came along and stopped by her saying “woman of little faith, why do you beseige me and bombard me with your prayer? Do you think I am deaf? You have already told me what you want 5 times, from the right, from the left, in front, behind, I get the message ! Go home , everything is alright” Full of joy, she thanked him and ran home to find her husband in perfect health.
