Donald Enright who has been active promoting devotion to the Italian Saint Padre Pio in Ireland, is one of the people quoted in a new book on that saint.
He says that in 1975 he was at a midnight mass in San Giovanni Rotondo, which was concelebrated by approximately 33 priests.
He says he saw Padre Pio walk onto the altar at midnight with the priests.
Padre Pio had died in the late 1960's.
Donald Enright says that from his pew he saw stars shining at the back of the altar area.
He says he saw a look of anguish on Padre Pio's face.
He says that at the culmination of the mass he saw the son of the Hebrew God on his cross on the altar.
He says he saw the two crucified criminals to the right and left of him.
He says one criminal was shrouded in a kind of darkness.
He says the other criminal was visibly touched by rays of light coming from the central crucified figure.
As the priests were giving out communion (wafers of bread which Catholic teaching maintains truly become the body of Christ), Donald Enright says Padre Pio stepped down from the altar and approached him in his pew.
As the ceremony ended Donald Enright says he saw Padre Pio leave the altar with the other priests.

Several possibilities should be considered:

1. Donald Enright is lying.

2. Donald Enright had a waking dream.

3. A corrupt element within the Capuchin order drugged Donald Enright to induce a waking dream.

4. Donald Enright saw what he described, representing a truth which all of us may know but which someone with my sins may not describe to you gentle travellers of the internet. A truth for which you yourselves must seek. Not among the dead. But the living.
