St. Pio of Pietrelcina - Print
5x7"
Padre Pio
This piece depicts a slightly different side of the beloved Padre Pio, who is nearly always portrayed laughing or in prayer.
To be honest, I intended to portray Pio with the joy that he is so known for, but he had other plans! In particular, I reflected on his ability to read souls. He could see souls so clearly, he sometimes told people what they ought to be confessing while they were in confession with him.
You can observe the loving look on his face, reading our souls, and urging us to rise to that call to sanctity and embrace suffering rather than seeking comfort.
