Book Description
Here is a sampling of just some of the amazing wonders you will read in this book: His first recorded miracle; causing unauthorized photos of himself to come up blank; miraculously preventing auto accidents; his involvement in near-death experiences; visits from souls in Purgatory; encounters with angels; reading peoples' thoughts and souls leading to the conversion of stubborn unbelievers; his appearance to a Pope in bilocation; some saw him crowned with thorns, others saw him looking like Jesus; it even seemed he could manipulate time; he predicted that he would work an Easter miracle; assisted an Anglican priest in his healing ministry after his own death; calling forth fire; he offers the praises of all creation to the creator; he experienced the pains of purgatory; cures of desperately and terminally ill persons, sometimes by appearing at their bedside in bilocation; the power of his relics. His supernatural gifts are many and profound, and as you will see, some of them cannot fit into any known categories.

Padre Pio

Author: Sergio Luzzatto
Publisher: Metropolitan Books
ISBN: 9781429946452
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 384

Book Description
The first historical appraisal of the astonishing life and times of a controversial twentieth-century saint Padre Pio is one of the world's most beloved holy figures, more popular in Italy than the Virgin Mary and even Jesus. His tomb is the most visited Catholic shrine anywhere, drawing more devotees than Lourdes. His miraculous feats included the ability to fly and to be present in two places at once; an apparition of Padre Pio in midair prevented Allied warplanes from dropping bombs on his hometown. Most notable of all were his stigmata, which provoke heated controversy to this day. Were they truly God-given? A psychosomatic response to extreme devotion? Or, perhaps, the self-inflicted wounds of a charlatan? Now acclaimed historian Sergio Luzzatto offers a pioneering investigation of this remarkable man and his followers. Neither a worshipful hagiography nor a sensationalist exposé, Padre Pio is a nuanced examination of the persistence of mysticism in contemporary society and a striking analysis of the links between Catholicism and twentieth-century politics. Granted unprecedented access to the Vatican archives, Luzzatto has also unearthed a letter from Padre Pio himself in which the monk asks for a secret delivery of carbolic acid—a discovery which helps explain why two successive popes regarded Padre Pio as a fraud, until pressure from Pio-worshipping pilgrims forced the Vatican to change its views. A profoundly original tale of wounds and wonder, salvation and swindle, Padre Pio explores what it really means to be a saint in our time.
