The Germanic Gothic style altar, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus flanked by Saints Peter and Paul, dominates the Shrine

	A Mass said by Padre Pio is as effective as a missionary journey," said Pope Paul VI, because of Padre's great love for Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Padre Pio himself said, "It would be easier for the world to exist without the sun than without the Holy Mass," and "At times during the Mass I am consumed by the fire of Divine Love. My face seems to burn."
