The 7 spiritual marks of women chosen by God (according to the teachings of Padre Pio)

2. A powerful spiritual intuition

Another defining trait is heightened spiritual sensitivity:

  • Intuitions that later prove true.
  • Dreams that feel like messages or warnings.
  • A strong sense when something—or someone—“isn’t right.”
  • Sensing another person’s hurt before they say a word.

These women are like spiritual antennas—detecting what others overlook—and they often feel overwhelmed by it.

Modern society dismisses this sensitivity, but spiritually it may be a gift:
a call to protect, to discern, to pray, and to stay spiritually alert—not out of fear, but out of love.
3. A longing for silence and solitude with God
Chosen women do not thrive in constant noise. Even if they can socialize, something within them needs:

In these moments, they often feel:

Answers to their worries.
A peace they cannot find elsewhere.
Spiritually, this silence is seen as the space where God whispers to the heart.
Their attraction to solitude isn’t isolation—it’s a call to deeper communion with Him.

4. Rejection and misunderstanding throughout life
One of the hardest marks is a pattern of rejection:

Never fully fitting into social groups—or even church communities.
Experiencing betrayals, false accusations, or abandonment.

God may be separating them from unhealthy attachments so they can learn to depend more on Him than on human approval.

Rejection isn’t a curse—it’s a painful preparation.

5. Ongoing struggles with health or finances
Chosen women often face intense challenges in vulnerable areas:
