Today is the Feast of St. Pio, aka Padre Pio of Pietralcina, who died in 1968 and was canonized in 2002. \u00c2\u00a0He was an amazing saint.<\/p>\n

I have an affection for Padre Pio. \u00c2\u00a0My bishop, who recently passed away \u00e2\u20ac\u201c RIP, when he was a member of the Congregation for Causes of Saints was the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ponente\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of the cause of St. Pio . \u00c2\u00a0I got a good look at the many volumes of the positio<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0for the cause and heard some great anecdotes.<\/p>\n

Here is something that you may not be aware of.<\/p>\n

I am sure you have heard of the great (living) composer of both secular and sacred music James MacMillan. \u00c2\u00a0Among the fine music has has written is, just as an example, the Tu Es Petrus<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0we heard when Benedict XVI entered Westminster Cathedral during his state visit to England.<\/p>\n

MacMillan wrote music in honor of St. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Padre\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Pio! \u00c2\u00a0It is sung by no less than The Sixteen.<\/p>\n

US HERE<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c UK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a setting of his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Prayer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HERE, however, is a choir singing the Prayer:<\/p>\n
