“Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!”

Just returned from San Giovanni Rotundo where St Padre Pio is laid to rest. I prayed before his tomb where he appeared peacefully sleeping. He is the saint I call on when I feel the enemy nearby. This is an homage to him as a powerful spiritual warrior for Christ.

I gifted this to my oldest dearest sister in Christ, #chindalisay, who is in deliverance ministry. She prays for me unceasingly as I paint. She is based out of Davao City, Philippines and she is here on pilgrimage and will hand carrying this painting back to share with her intercessory team. Praise God😇

St. Padre Pio, please pray for us🙏
