'It really means to bring something back for me. I'm so devoted. Driving and everything else, but I said 'Pio, watch over me.''
Thousands of visitors waited in line Tuesday outside a Naperville Catholic church, to get a glimpse of items that once belonged to Padre Pio, the patron saint of the sick and healing.
"These people are from all over the city. They're battling the traffic to come out here, find a parking space, to go step in line," said Deacon Tom Rehak of Saint Peter and Paul Catholic Church. "There were a number of miracles that he did in curing people's illnesses during his life. He had the ability to bi-locate, in other words, you could be in this place and then he could be somewhere else," Rehak said.
"My joy was just being able to go up there and just see and experience just a sliver of what it was like to be around him," said churchgoer Daniel Crowley.
