On August 10, 1910, Padre Pio was ordained to the priesthood in the Cathedral of Benevento, in Benevento, Italy. He wrote the following sentiment on his ordination card — “Jesus, my breath and my life, today trembling, I elevate You in a mystery of love. With you let me be for the world – the way, the truth, and the life, and for You, a holy priest, a perfect victim.”
