Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (Ess) (Encounter the Saints (Paperback))

This is the amazing life story of a Franciscan priest who bore the wounds of the crucified Jesus and used the special gifts he received from God--the ability to read souls and bilocation--to relieve the sufferings of others who crowded the Church to attend his masses and speak to him during confession. His advice to "Pray. Hope. And don't worry" continues to give encouragement to countless people around the world.
