The Cross: Only boast of Padre Pio Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, like the Apostle Paul, at the center of his life and his apostolate set the Holy Cross, which was his strength, his wisdom , and his glory. Free from the vanities of the world and inflamed with love for Jesus Christ, he was conformed to Him in the immolation of the Cross for the salvation of the world. In the sequence and in the imitation of the divine Victim he was so generous and perfect that he would have been able to say: I have been crucified with Christ and I am not me anymore that live, but Christ lives in me (Gal. 2, 19). He wanted to hold it for the treasures of grace, that God had granted to him with unusual abundance; therefore, without standstill, with his sacred ministry, he served the men and the women that hastened to him to produce an immense crowd of spiritual sons and daughters.
