The 7 Spiritual Signs of Women Chosen by God (According to the Teachings of Padre Pio)

The spiritual teachings associated with Padre Pio describe these women as souls marked from the womb, called to a silent mission of love, reparation, and intercession. They don’t always know it, they don’t always understand it, and for this very reason they tend to be deeply attached on a spiritual and emotional level.

The 7 Spiritual Signs of God’s Chosen Women
. Below, we’ll examine these seven signs one by one. They’re not rigid labels, but internal signs that can help you understand your path.

1. Deep pain with no apparent explanation
Many selected women describe pain that cannot be explained simply:

A sadness that appears suddenly.
An anguish that doesn’t always have a clear cause.
An inner burden that isn’t relieved simply by “thinking positively.”
From a faith perspective, this pain can also have a spiritual dimension:
it’s said that some women carry within them a pain that isn’t theirs alone, unknowingly interceding for their family, their environment, or even for souls in need.

This doesn’t mean that medical or psychological help should be ignored.
But spiritually, this type of suffering can be a kind of silent prayer, an offering that purifies, repairs, and sustains.

2. Very acute spiritual intuition
Another frequent sign is a spiritual sensitivity that goes beyond the normal:

Premonitions that come true.
Dreams that seem to carry messages or warnings.
A clear sense that something “isn’t right” in certain environments or people.
The ability to sense others’ pain before they express it.
These women function like spiritual antennas:
they pick up things that others don’t perceive and often suffer because they don’t understand where it all comes from.

The modern world often ridicules this sensitivity, but faith can see it as a gift: a call to prayer, to attentiveness, to discernment. It’s not about stoking fear, but about collaborating with God in protecting and caring for others.

3. Love for silence and solitude with God.
The chosen woman doesn’t feel fulfilled in constant noise. Even though she can socialize, there’s something inside her that needs:

Moments of solitude.
Moments of silence, without screens or distractions.
Spaces for prayer, spiritual reading, or simply contemplation.
In that inner silence, many say they experience:

Clear ideas they didn’t have before.
Answers to situations that worried them.
A peace they find nowhere else.
In spiritual terms, it is said that God whispers to the heart in those moments when the world is silent. For this reason, the taste for solitude and silence is not empty isolation, but a call to intimacy with the Creator.

4. Rejection and misunderstanding throughout life
Another very painful sign is rejection:
