Truly a holy man of God

Although I love to read, I've been so busy that I don't have that much time to pick up a book lately!!! Relics of Saint Padre Pio had come to the church I attend in Los Angeles, California in Saint Peter and Saint Paul's Catholic Church. In the past I have attended the special mass and presentation about Saint Padre Pio which left me walking away very inspired. I have a particular patient in my pediatrics unit. These days, when I look at him I realize more and more that he himself in a miracle. When he was 5 years old the original diagnosis for him was that he was going to end up in a mental institution. In fact, it turns out that the doctor was truly incorrect. Fast forward to the future, that boy is now a 34 year old adult working within a sheltered organization. Reading Pray, Hope and Don't Worry, opened my mind and heart through all of the stories within in. The book is so well compiled, that I was able to read one story at a time. Before, I knew it, I was hooked on reading the entire book and had finished it. I highly recommend it to anyone who has, knows of or comes in contact with someone with any type of physical, emotional or mental disability. After reading his book, the reader will come away with a stronger faith and believe in miracles of the lord working through Padre Pio.

This book is amazing, what a wonderful spritual man. I wish I could of met the wonderful saint of our century. Truly a blesssing to all mankind.

I was worried that I might not like this book as it was recommended to me.. I have heard a lot about St.Pio but didn't know what sort of person he was.. The author starts off with a short summary of him but then gets into the detail of his life once he entered the Seminary or order of Monks. This is not only very informative but its written in such a way that it's down to earth and in every day language. St.Pio has written himself about a lot of his suffering days and days of humility and days of doubt as well as understanding of his life and the order of the life of a Monk. He followed Gods law to the letter and suffered for others.. Understanding all this is what the book is all about and I have learned much about God and ST.Pio in this book...Believe me it's well worth the read.. I still go back and read different chapters..Hope this helps, Betty

A deeply inspiring collection of true stories that gives insight into Padre Pio's humble, sanctified life as a stigmatist, which touched millions. The stories compel us to read over and over again how Padre Pio transformed people through their brief but powerful encounters with him. The accounts also reveal the essence of God Himself in this monastic priest, and serve as a balm to the soul that is shaken by worry and anxiety caused by daily trials. You cannot help but be inspired to pray much more, hope and trust in God and worry much less (or not at all).This book is so well researched, comprehensive and beautifully written, that it offers something for everyone - even the non-believer. Padre Pio's simple, austere life as a priest and his gifts of the stigmata, countless miracles of healing and protection, bi-location and love of the Crucified Christ, all inspire belief in the absolute goodness and power of God. 'Pray, Hope and Don't Worry' is a must read for the world. The quest for faith stops here. I congratulate the author on this fine accomplishment.
