00:00One of the most impactful saints is without a doubt, no questions asked, Padre Pio.
00:10And whether or not you personally have a strong devotion to St. Padre Pio, he is so impactful
00:16in almost everyone's daily life, whether they know it or not.
00:19And while he is known for many wonderful prayers, many wonderful things that he did, I personally
00:24find the words that he spoke at his death so inspiring.
00:28Before Padre Pio died, he just kept repeating, Jesus, Mary, Jesus, Mary.
00:34He was literally clinging to Jesus and Mary as he died.
00:37Obviously, we know we're called to pray without ceasing, and this is a great example of how
00:42we can do that.
00:44I know that multiple times throughout the day, if I'm stressed or overwhelmed, or even
00:48just I have Jesus on my mind or want to pray, in that moment, I'll just say, Jesus and Mary
00:52and Jesus and Mary.
00:53Padre Pio, pray for us.
