I'd recommend "Padre Pio: The True Story" by Bernard C. Ruffin, which can be found at Amazon and elsewhere in paperback. It's a careful, factual history, well-written, but in the end amazing, because Padre Pio was such an amazing man.

SAINT PADRE PIO

[RightOnline]

"he was credited with the medically inexplicable healing of an Italian woman who had a lung disease.

The second miracle was the curing of an 11-year-old Italian boy who had meningitis and whose mother prayed to Padre Pio while her son was in a coma."

The Good Padre.........now Saint Pio...........would be the first to correct this. He didn't heal anybody, GOD healed these people. Not in any way attempting to diminish the man (sounds like a wonderful guy......to put it mildly), but such things are so commonplace as not to be believed. You NEVER hear of them in the media and probably never will.

I've been in Evangelical Christian churches for years and years, and I can personally attest to dozens upon dozens of healings in this "league" and beyond. All manners of very advanced-stage cancers.........crippling injuries..........life-long maladies.........you name it, all completely cured. I've seen this first hand countless times. I'm not only talking about curing, but total and complete restoration.

Such is the power of fervent prayer.........and such is the generosity, compassion, and power of God.

Padre Pio told the man: "Tell your doctor friend to go stare at a cow and see if horns grow on his head."

hehehe! Thanks for a very interesting article! I wish they had reported that Padre Pio also foretold that our present Holy Father would one day be Pope.

"Many people said Padre Pio was able to predict events in their lives or knew what they were about to confess."

We could have used him at the Dallas bishops' meeting and as the lead investigator for sex abuse.
