We all know the wimpy kid on the block, the last one to be picked because no one wants him on their team. Francesco Forgione was that kid. Born in Pietrelcina Italy, Francesco was always a sickly child who wanted to become a priest. He was too sick to attend seminary, but was allowed to study with the local priest while living at home, taking the name Padre Pio when he was ordained. Not a real exciting story so far, but it gets better. God is amazing, and sometimes sees in us a side that no one else does, sometimes He picks the wimpy kid to be on His team, and makes them the All-Star.
