Book 53 of 2023 — Padre Pio: Glimpse Into the Miraculous by Fr. Pascal Cataneo

A very easy, exciting read about the life of Padre Pio and his many charisms. There are amusing anecdotes, jokes, and even terrifying stories of the Capuchin’s life.

“There is a lesson here for us. To trust in God and abandon ourselves to him through all the events of life is to attain happiness, if we look at life with the eyes of faith. It is through faith that we come to an understanding of the real meaning of life, as it unfolds here on earth, and in its eternal perspective” (171).

I devoured this book in about three sittings. I find the tales of his bilocation so interesting. So many stories…hard to believe that there isn’t some truth??

5⭐️/5

I always wanted to know more about Padre Pio and this book gives you only a glimpse into the man but gives a lot of examples of his incredible miracles. Although the translation is not the best, the writing doesn't take away from this man's holiness and gifts. Through great suffering, he is bombarded by prayers and requests for miracles. Always pointing to Christ, he endures and performs miracle after miracle including bilocation and raising from the dead. I have heard first accounts of his powerful gifts, but they are overwhelmingly displayed in this book.
