Meet Padre Pio by Patricia Treece - Catholic Saint Book, 145 pp.
An unforgettable story of a humble yet controversial Capuchin priest and mystic who was used by God to bring healing and hope to thousands of people.
A gruff yet goldy man, Padre Pio (1887-1968) was a healer and mystic. He aspired to great holiness, both for himself and for the many people who came to him for spiritual direction. For the final fifty years of his life, Padre Pio silently endured both the physical pain of his stigmata and times of persecution. However, even when under church discipline, Padre Pio was graced with amazing gifts that enabled him to carry out his ministry until the day he died.
