The many gifts Padre Pio had such as the stigmata, bilocation, miraculous scents, prophecy, reading hearts, healing, interpreting languages and many other charisms, rank him among the most extraordinary Saints in the two-thousand year history of the Church. Padre Pio—The Wonder Worker not only examines these gifts close up and from different perspectives, but is capable of challenging the faithless, of exciting interest among the wavering and of inspiring the faithful to strive for holiness.

Though the book records many authenticated wonders, the book's main virtue consists in recounting the life and heroic virtues of this modern day Saint who shows that the way to personal holiness is very much with us in our day. The first seven chapters are a biographical sketch, followed by over thirty chapters dealing with the many inspiring facts pertaining to his life and charisms. Also included are chapters on the Beatification ceremony in Rome and the Pope's homilies.

These short interesting chapters are written by a host of writers and devotees of the Padre such as Fr. John Schug, OFM Cap, Fr. Stefano Manelli, F.I., Mary Ann Budnik, Padre Alberto, Cardinal Ursi, Fr. Bernardino of Siena, Fr. Andre Apostoli and many others. Illustrated with dozens of photos.

"Totally absorbed in God, always bearing the marks of Jesus' Passion in his body, Padre Pio was bread broken for men starving for God's mercy and forgiveness." —Pope John Paul II

Praying in the Presence of Our Lord with St. Padre Pio
$7.95
By Eileen Dunn Bertanzetti; Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R., series editor.

A beloved priest of the twentieth century. A saint of the twenty-first. During his 58 years as a Capuchin friar, Padre Pio never stopped encouraging the faithful to receive Jesus in the Eucharist and to pray in the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

During that time, thousands upon thousands of pilgrims streamed to Pietrelcina, Italy, to be there as he celebrated Mass, to receive the sacrament of penance from him, to seek his spiritual guidance, and to ask for his prayers. Among them, in 1947, was a young Father Karol Wojtyla who, later as Pope John Paul II, proclaimed him St. Pio in 2002.

Now you can enter into the presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist accompanied by this humble stigmatist (one who suffers the wounds of Christ crucified). Here are his words and his prayers on life’s sorrows, fears, trials, temptations, and joys. Paper, 144 pages. Our Sunday Visitor March 2004.
