"Padre Pio Father Pio bore the stigmata, the five ever-bleeding wounds of Christ Crucified in his hands, feet, and side for fifty years. Through his many gifts, including healing, reading of souls, and counseling, he was used by God to bring help and comfort and healing to the millions who sought him during his long life." From the Introduction
"We should be on the alert for every slightest sign of uneasiness, and as soon as we realize we have fallen into dejection, we must turn to God with filial confidence and abandon ourselves completely to Him . I beg you to set aside these excessive and useless anxieties. The Lord is with you, and there is no room for fear." Padre Pio
