Beyond the extraordinary events that accompanied Padre Pio's life, these intimate letters attest to his personal struggles, worries, temptations, and fears. Padre Pio suffered much, but hoped even more in the One he loved deeply: Christ Crucified.

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. Quantity

The fascinating life story of Padre Pio, with emphasis on his life as a seminarian, young priest and his early years at San Giovanni Rotondo. From this small, remote mountain friary, he became world famous and exercised unbelievable influence on the entire world, though he was soon forbidden by his superiors to preach, to correspond or to write. Covers his early work with Mary Pyle, and with the American GIs who came to visit him during WWII when his part of Italy was liberated. Padre Pio developed a special love for America and Americans - to the point that he wished that all Americans would become his spiritual children. This book demonstrates his amazing sense of humor, his prayer and fasting, his uncanny knowledge of people (even before they visited), and his profound supernatural awareness. In sum, Padre Pio and America will instill a profound awe in readers over the impact a truly saintly priest can have on all who come into contact with him! TAN Books Spring 2006
