点评:I joined the faith in 2019, choosing Saint Padre Pio as my patron. When I was baptized and confirmed, the priest said he had never had anyone choose Pio and asked me why. During some medical issues, I read about Padre Pio, whom I turned to for intercession; it gave me comfort. While awaiting surgery, I prayed and felt peace, trusting Padre Pio's protection. I took a last-minute trip to Rome to visit his shrine, traveling easily by train and bus to San Giovanni Rotondo, and seeing the church where he held mass and heard confessions was powerful. I prayed at his tomb, thanking God for guiding me to Padre Pio and for his intercessions during difficult times. The town is beautiful. Be ready for a very steep hill that leads the way to the Shrine; it's a hike. On the bus ride, if you are squeamish about looking over the edge of a mountain, sit on the driver's side. Because as the bus makes
It's way up the winding Mountain Road that you will feel like you are hanging over the edge.
I AM WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS TO STRESS THIS POINT TO MAKE YOUR JOURNEY LESS STRESSFUL.
When you purchase your bus ticket at the Foggia train station, also buy a return ticket.
There are several places to get a meal, have a drink, have a gelato, a pastry, or simply a cup of coffee. There are also several souvenir shops. Locals run these and were the most reasonably priced items I found in the places I visited in Italy.
I recommend this trip to anyone visiting Italy.
翻译:我于2019年皈依天主教,选择圣比约神父为我的主保圣人。受洗和坚振礼时,神父说他从未见过有人选择比约神父,并问我为什么。我曾经历过一些健康问题,读到过比约神父的事迹,便向他祈求代祷,这给了我安慰。在等待手术期间,我祈祷并感到平静,信赖比约神父的庇佑。我临时决定去罗马朝拜他的圣殿,乘坐火车和巴士轻松抵达圣乔瓦尼·罗通多,亲眼见到他主持弥撒和听取告解的教堂,内心深受震撼。我在他的墓前祈祷,感谢天主指引我认识比约神父,感谢他在我艰难时刻的代祷。小镇风景优美。前往圣殿的路是一段非常陡峭的山路,需要徒步攀登。如果您害怕从山上往下看,可以坐在司机那一侧。因为当巴士沿着蜿蜒的山路缓缓驶上山顶时,你会感觉自己仿佛悬在悬崖边上。
我用大写字母强调这一点,是为了让你的旅程更加轻松。
在福贾火车站购买巴士票时,请务必同时购买往返票。
沿途有很多地方可以用餐、喝饮料、品尝意式冰淇淋、糕点,或者只是喝杯咖啡。此外,还有几家纪念品商店。这些商店都是当地人经营的,是我在意大利各地旅行时发现的最物美价廉的商品。
我向所有来意大利旅游的人推荐这条路线。
