LEATHANACH NA LITREACHA A EagarthĂłir, LĂ©igh mĂ© an t-alt san eagrĂĄn deireanach de An Timire, a scrĂ­obh G. D. de Barra. Aithne an-mhaith agam ar an scrĂ­bhneoir ceart go leor, ach nĂ­ gĂĄ a rĂĄ gur chuir sĂ© suĂĄilcĂ­ Naomh Pio i gcuimhne dĂșinn go fĂ­ormhaith. Faraor sa bhliain 1975, deimhnĂ­odh go raibh sclĂ©arĂłis iolrach ar mo mhĂĄthair, agus Ă­ ag aois 27, agus tharla go raibh an galar fĂ­ochmhar, neamhthrĂłcaireach ina taobh. Laistigh de bhliain, fĂĄgadh Ă­ i gcĂłma sĂ© seachtaine san OspidĂ©al Richmond (mar a bhĂ­) i mBaile Átha Cliath agus i mbaol bĂĄis, gan nĂ©al dĂłchais ag m’athair go dtiocfadh sĂ­ slĂĄn. Sasanach agus ball d’Eaglais na hÉireann ba ea mo mhĂĄthair ach bhĂ­ na Proinsiasaigh ChaipisĂ­neacha i SrĂĄid na Cille an-tĂłgtha lĂ©i. BeannaĂ­odh Ă­ le taise PhadrĂ© Pio an uair sin sa bhliain 1976; thĂĄinig sĂ­ amach as an gcĂłma an lĂĄ dar gcionn. D’fheabhsaigh sĂ­ de rĂ©ir a chĂ©ile le go mbĂ­odh leagan nĂ­os leanĂșnaĂ­ den ghalar aici, a bhĂ­ ina chuid dĂĄ coimhlint leighis uaidh sin i leith (go dtĂ­ gur bhĂĄsaigh sĂ­ ocht mbliana is fiche nĂ­os dĂ©anaĂ­). Rugadh mise fĂ©in tamall de bhlianta ina dhiaidh sin, naoi mĂ­ tar Ă©is do m’athair mo mhĂĄthair a thabhairt ar Oilithreacht na bProinsiasach CaipisĂ­neach chuig San Giovanni, in ainneoin na dtuartha Ăł dhochtĂșirĂ­ agus d’éirigh lĂ©i aire mhaith a thabhairt dom sna blianta luatha de mo shaol. NĂ­ bheinn ann murach Ă­, nĂĄ Naomh Pio. Le dea-ghuĂ­, Liam Mac Amhlaigh, Baile Átha Cliath

A Athair, a chara, Is mĂł uair a chuala mĂ© trĂĄcht ar Naomh Padre Pio ach is beag a bhĂ­ ar eolas agam faoin a bheatha go dtĂ­ gur lĂ©igh mĂ© an t-alt a foilsĂ­odh in eagrĂĄn an Gheimhridh don Timire. Im’ thaobhsa fĂ©in bĂ­m ag impĂ­ ar Naomh Antaine mo rudaĂ­ “caillte” a fhĂĄil dom ach tar Ă©is dom an t-alt seo a lĂ©amh beidh Padre Pio ar mo phaidrĂ­n as seo amach. ScrĂ­obh an BrĂĄthair de Barra cĂșntas anspĂ©isiĂșil agus tĂĄim cĂ­ocrach anois breis eolais a fhĂĄil faoi Naomh Pio Pietrelcina agus faoin ĂĄit in ar chĂłnaigh sĂ© i San Giovanni Rotundo. Ba bhreĂĄ liom breis eolais nĂł mĂ­niĂș a fhĂĄil ar an stigmata agus freisin cĂ©n tinneas a bhĂ­ ar an mBrĂĄthair de Barra agus conas mar a leigheasadh Ă© trĂ­ eadarghuĂ­ Padre Pio. Deirtear go bhfuil breis is naoi mĂ­le duine ag obair san ospidĂ©al a bhunaigh Padre Pio san ĂĄit. N’fheadar ar chĂłir dĂĄr n-Aire SlĂĄinte, Simon Harris T. D. do dhul ann agus foghlaim conas ospideĂĄl a eagrĂș, fiĂș d’fhĂ©adfadh sĂ© guĂ­ ann. Cinnte is iontach an tionchar a bhĂ­ ag an gCaipuisĂ­neach umhal seo ar an tsrĂĄid bhaile bheag, San Giovanni Rotunda, sa mhĂ©id is go mbeidh spĂ©is nĂ­ hamhĂĄin ag oilithirigh ach ag an turasĂłir creideamhach ar leagan amach agus ar fhĂĄs na hĂĄite agus ar an ailtearacht is an ealaĂ­n atĂĄ le feiscint san ĂĄit de rĂ©ir an ailt atĂĄ sa Timire. Le cĂșnamh DĂ©, rachaidh mĂ© go San Giovanni Rotundo lĂĄ Ă©igin amach anseo. Is mise le meas, Elaine NĂ­ MhaolĂĄin
