Manuela Moreno recounts spiritual connection to Padre Pio
Journalist and presenter Manuela Moreno has shared personal accounts regarding her devotion to Padre Pio and a perceived miracle involving a family member. Moreno stated that years ago, she prayed to the saint for a family member suffering from an illness, noting that doctors later described the subsequent recovery as “unexplainable.”
Moreno recounted a pilgrimage to San Giovanni Rotondo to fulfill a promise made to the saint. During her visit to Padre Pio’s cell, she reported experiencing a powerful, unexplained scent of flowers that no one else in her company could detect.
In addition to her religious experiences, Moreno discussed her spiritual journey, which includes exposure to Buddhist and Hindu practices, and her personal struggle to move from a desire for vengeance to a state of forgiveness.
