He was known for summing up the teachings of saints in a way that made them easy for the average person to apply. This is a really good book he wrote I've gotten a lot out of:

Charles Joseph Quadrupani, How to Love God and Keep His Commandments

I've been reading Pio's biography--wow. I like this quote, too:

"In order to attract us, the Lord grants us many graces that we believe can easily obtain Heaven for us. We do not know, however, that in order to grow, we need hard bread: the cross, humiliation, trials and denials."
