Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. relates the life and influence of a greatly beloved saint, Padre Pio, in simple, easy-to-understand language. St. Padre Pio was a special and holy man who lived in Italy. He was born in 1887, and from a young age, he loved God very much. He wanted to become a priest to help others know God's love. When he grew up, he joined a group of priests called the Capuchins, who dedicate their lives to prayer and helping people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePadre Pio\u003c\/i\u003e became famous because of the many miracles and amazing things that happened in his life. One of the most special things about him was that he received the stigmata, which are marks on his hands, feet, and side, just like the wounds Jesus had when He was crucified. These wounds stayed with Padre Pio for over 50 years and were a sign of his deep love for Jesus.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople came from all over the world to see Padre Pio, ask for his prayers, and seek his advice. He spent many hours every day in the confessional, helping people receive God's forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. He was known for being able to read people's hearts and give them the guidance they needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePadre Pio\u003c\/i\u003e also loved the Mass and prayer, especially the Rosary. He always encouraged people to pray and trust in God. Even though he went through suffering and difficulties, he never lost his faith. St. Padre Pio teaches us the power of prayer, trust in God, and loving Jesus with all our hearts. He was declared a saint in 2002. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSubjects on the life and influence of Padre Pio that are covered in this title include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio as a Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrancesco Grows Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriar Pio Grows in Holiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio as a Young Priest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio as Spiritual Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio Receives the Stigmata \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio Obeys His Church Superiors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio's Fame Grows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio, Example of a Humble Life of Service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio Battles the Evil One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld War II Arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe House to Relieve Suffering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"God Will Provide\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio Grows Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio Dies on the Fiftieth Anniversary of Receiving the Stigmata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadre Pio Is Beatified and Canonized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 7.3 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57249639203121,"sku":"9780899425313","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/qr7xeATiK09780899425313.webp?v=1793519695","url":"https:\/\/www.welibooks.com\/products\/padre-pio-paperback","provider":"Welibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
