A young girl, about 8 or 10 years old, was seriously ill.
Lying in her bed, she dreamt that a Capuchin monk appeared to her and touched her forehead. Next morning, she was completely healed.
When the child told her parents and other people that a good monk, who appeared in her dream, healed her, they did not believe her. Then they saw a tiny drop of red blood on the child’s white blanket.
The blood was found to be of a different type from the child’s. When Padre Pio’s picture was shown to her, she identified him as the one she saw in her dream.
Padre Pio, as we know, suffered from stigmata or spontaneous bleeding in both hands and feet in imitation of the passion of Jesus Christ.
