Something made her look behind at the Padre Pio picture in his bedroom. She rushed to his room but when she got there she found him sound asleep. One night, Michael’s mother heard him shouting and screaming in pain. The sick child, Michael Andrews, had a tumor the size of a baseball sitting on his left pelvis and it could be clearly seen and felt as a large swelling. We were asked to pray a novena to Padre Pio for a 13 year old lad who was dying from progressive malignant cancer in the lower abdomen.
