Who is Padre Pio?


Book Description




Padre Pio


Book Description

"I'm a mystery to myself." With this simple admission, Padre Pio captured the feelings of many who knew him.

Beatified on May 22, 1999, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) was a Capuchin monk and mystic whose life was marked with miracles and wonders, but who said that his only desire was "to be a poor friar who prays."

Amazing Miracles of Padre Pio

His supernatural gifts are many and profound, and as you will see, some of them cannot fit into any known categories.
