of school

The first day of school is an exciting and important milestone in the lives of children all over the world. It can be a time of nerves, anticipation, and wonder as they begin a new journey of learning and growth. But for the of Father Pio, the first day of school was a different kind of experience altogether.

Born Maria Giuseppa Forgione in 1845, the woman who would come to be known as “Nonna Peppa” was a devout Catholic who lived in the small town of Pietrelcina, Italy. She was married to Grazio Forgione and had eight children, including a son named Francesco who would go on to become one of the most beloved and revered saints in the Catholic Church.

On the first day of school for Francesco (who would later become known as Father Pio), Nonna Peppa experienced a powerful vision that she would never forget. She saw her beloved son walking down a long and winding road, surrounded by brilliant light and attended by two celestial figures who she recognized as St. Francis of Assisi and St. Pio of Pietrelcina.

Intrigued and alarmed by the vision, Nonna Peppa immediately went to her priest and confidant, Father Benedetto Napolitano, to discuss what she had seen. Father Benedetto listened patiently as Nonna Peppa described the vision in detail, and then offered his interpretation of what it might mean.

He told her that the light surrounding Francesco was a sign of his future greatness, that St. Francis and St. Pio were there to guide and protect him, and that his path in life would be one of great trials and suffering, but also of profound spiritual enlightenment and communion with God.

Nonna Peppa was awed and humbled by the weight of this vision, and it stayed with her for the rest of her days. She went on to become a beloved and respected figure in the community, known for her kindness, wisdom, and faith. And though she never lived to see her son canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church, she always remembered the first day of school when she received a glimpse of his future destiny.

For children all over the world, the first day of school is a time of excitement, a new beginning, and a promising future. But for Nonna Peppa, the first day of school was a moment of profound spiritual insight and revelation, a glimpse into the life and legacy of her son Francesco, who would go on to touch the hearts and souls of millions of people around the world.

As we begin a new school year, let us remember Nonna Peppa and her vision, and let us pray for the guidance and protection of St. Francis, St. Pio, and all the celestial figures who watch over us as we embark on our own journeys of learning and growth. May we be inspired by the faith and devotion of Nonna Peppa, and may we always strive to live our lives with the same sense of purpose and divine mission that she saw in her son so many years ago.
