This rare glimpse into the heart and soul of Padre Pio reveals the profound spirituality and humanity of the beloved Capuchin friar canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002. Beyond the extraordinary events that accompanied Padre Pio's life, these intimate letters attest to his personal struggles, concerns, temptations, and fears. Padre Pio suffered much, but he hoped in the One he loved deeply: Christ crucified. This two-part book includes almost fifty letters written by Padre Pio to his spiritual director. The letters in Part I reflect Padre Pio's early years (1910-1914), including his reception of the stigmata, or wounds of Christ. Part II features letters written from 1915-1920, during which Padre Pio pondered his call to console the Heart of Jesus. These remarkable letters are reverently gathered and presented by Father Florio Alessandro Tessari, OFM Cap, a collaborator with the postulator for Padre Pio's canonization cause and member of Padre Pio's order.

"You can't deeply know Padre Pio until you read his letters. They are filled with beauty, love, discreet discussion of his dark nights and physical agonies, and of all our struggles. Padre Pio's words are a thousand stars, not just 5. A cornucopia of spiritual gems for the soul."
