I also liked his Mariology which actually gave him some problems from some of his superiors and his zeal in using technology (the printing press). There are many remarkable aspects to his life, besides what he's usually remembered for (his martyrdom at Auschwitz.<br /><br />My other son is my Padre Pio son - I knew he was a boy via St. Pio but that's a complicated story. Anyway, I've had instances that convince me Padre Pio keeps an eye on my family from time to time.marcohttp://marcosavonarola.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-41739143717158887902010-10-01T16:39:05.128-07:002010-10-01T16:39:05.128-07:00Each and every Blogger blog includes its very own ...Each and every Blogger blog includes its very own search box right at the top.

I have a question for you about us...Hello, Sister. I have a question for you about using the Green Scapular. My grandfather was never Baptized, had no formal introduction to any faith, and does not think highly of the Catholic Church. I had an idea to place a Green Scapular inside a homemade pillow to give him, but my family is uncomfortable with the idea. They feel it is being too sneaky. (Giving him the pillow not because we want to give him a pillow but to sneak a religious object into his house.) I can see where they're coming from, but at the same time, hiding is a common way this scapular is used. We are starting a family novena for him, but I was interested to know what your thoughts were.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770997918092950699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-50937364138833121652010-09-30T06:10:23.882-07:002010-09-30T06:10:23.882-07:00I didn't find the "New Math" to be a...I didn't find the "New Math" to be all that new, but then I was taught it before calculators were invented (I used graph paper to help keep all the columns in line doing long division and big multiplications).
