Padre Pio’s wit

Saint Pio of Pietralcina was known for his holiness, but also for his wit. When a penitent told him that he committed very light sins, Padre Pio told him “did you go and weigh your sins on a measuring scale?” Another person asked him to pray for him as he was going to see a doctor about a series of unexplained headaches. He went to a doctor and came back happily and told Padre Pio “thankfully they didn’t find anything in my head!” A Padre Pio quickly responded, “We knew that all along!” A third person asked for some prayers as one of his relatives has been sick for two full years. “What can I tell him to console him?” he asked. And Padre Pio answered, “tell him that Padre Pio has been sick for 70 years!”
