Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (Ess)

by Eileen Dunn Bertanzetti

Book Overview

This is the amazing life story of a Franciscan priest who bore the wounds of the crucified Jesus and used the special gifts he received from God--the ability to read souls and bilocation--to relieve the sufferings of others who crowded the Church to attend his masses and speak to him during confession. His advice to "Pray. Hope. And don't worry" continues to give encouragement to countless people around the world.

Customer Reviews

Inspiring book! Don't miss this for your child!

This is a very good book. I have twins that read this and they were both inspired by it. One of the advantages of it, is that it is not too long. Yes, there is much more to discover about Saint Padre Pio, but this is a very good book to get them interested in hearing more!

Beautiful book!

The "revisionist" pictures the woman mentions above do not take away from the simple beauty of this faith inspiring account of Saint Pio's life. Don't miss it!
