SECOND CLASS RELICS
Mary’s Way Apostolate exclusively offers extremely rare and a very limited supply of the actual Religious Vestments, ex indumentis, of Saint Padre Pio from San Giovanni Rotondo and Saint Thérèse of Liseux “The Little Flower” from Liseux, France. These Sacred Holy Second Class Relics are provided to us by Father David, a protégé of Padre Pio!
Each Sacred Second Class Relic comes with a custom made, individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity certified by and signed by Father David on a long lasting, acid-free document.
Each of these Sacred Relic comes in a very unique, gold plated, custom-made reliquary made in Italy. These Sacred Holy Relics are all placed on the Altar where they are prayed over and blessed with incense and holy water during 9 days of Masses. They are then put into their reliquaries by the Capuchin Monks.
You have a choice of 7 full color photographs of Padre Pio and 3 color photographs of Saint Thérèse on the front of these exquisite Medallion Reliquaries. Saint Thérèse of Liseux’s Second Class Relics come in singularly unique reliquaries with a halo of sixteen roses embossed on the front and back, and a garland of flowers embracing the relic on the back. They can be worn as a pendant around your neck and next to your heart for many blessings and protection!
On the feast day of Padre Pio, September 23rd, when Padre Pio appeared to him, Father David said to Padre Pio: “I don’t know what I am going to do! We need so much money for food, medicine, medical care for our 500 orphans!” SAINT PADRE PIO, HOLDING HIS HEAD FOR A SHORT TIME SAID: “PATIENCE MY SON, PATIENCE.” After much prayer, PADRE PIO THEN SAID: “YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE RELICS!”
Father David was reminded by Padre Pio that he had sent a number Relics of Padre Pio and Saint Therese Religious Vestments to a distant monastery to raise funds for his orphans. These Holy Relics were returned over two years ago to Father David and were hidden away in a wooden chest.
Father David said to Saint Padre Pio, “Thank you, Father Pio! Thank you, thank you! I completely forgot about the relics!”
Father David called Francis at Mary’s Way Worldwide Apostolate and told him about these Holy Sacred Second Class Relics of the vestments of Saint Padre Pio and Saint Thérèse and asked him if he could offer them to his patrons to help raise funds for his orphan children. Francis responded with a resounding “yes!” That is how Mary’s Way became involved with the offering these precious relics of which we have a very limited supply.
These very special Sacred Second Class Relics also come with:
(1) a 24 inch gold plated chain
(2) a small lustrous gold gift bag or a cream color satin gift bag with small roses on them which can also be used later as a rosary case,
(3) a special prayer from Padre Pio is specially engraved on the back of his reliquary which when translated reads: “STAY WITH ME LORD!" Saint Thérèse Liseux relic is embossed on the back with “Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus.”
(4) and a beautiful, unique CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY – individually numbered, and signed by Father David and countersigned by Ms. Francis Slinsky.
Thank you and God bless you and your family.
