Padre Pio diverts a bombing Mission

 

"Pictured, Father Pio and North American Protestant pilots who converted to Catholicism after seeing the Saint fly alongside his planes." · “When the planes were near the target, they saw a monk in the sky with his hands raised, diverting the planes. Like bombs dropped, they fell into the woods, far from the village. Without any explanation, the planes had changed their course.”. Everyone wondered who was that monk the planes obeyed. Someone told the general that in San Giovanni Rotondo there was a monk who performed miracles. Then he decided, as soon as the war ended, to verify who was the monk they had seen in Heaven. After the war, the General went to the Capuchin Convent with some pilots. Upon entering the sacrament, he met several monks and among them he immediately recognized that the monk who had stopped his planes was Father Pio. The priest approached and when he approached, he said, "So were you the one who wanted to kill us all?" "Enlightened by the eyes and the words of the Father, the General knelt before him." Everyone was in awe, and the General and his fellow pilots. They were protestors, converted to Catholicism"
