 " The meeting which took place after Easter in 1967 lasted two minutes … I told him in a few words the purpose of my visit : for him to bless the Congregation of the Holy Ghost which was due to hold an extraordinary General Chapter meeting … Then Padre Pio cried out . ' Me , bless an archbishop , no , no , it is you who should be blessing me ! ' And he bowed , to receive the blessing . I blessed him , he kissed my ring and continued on his way to the confessional ... That was the whole of the meeting , no more , no less ... "
