Padre Pio of Pietrelcina is perhaps the single most extraordinary saint in the modern history of the Catholic Church. His heart was pierced. He carried the wounds of Christ on his hands, feet, and side for half a century. He communicated with his spiritual sons and daughters through bilocation and mystical perfume. He read the souls of his penitents. He offered his suffering so that others might be healed. He built one of the most significant hospitals in Southern Italy. Most importantly, Padre Pio wanted others to be redeemed.

In Bret Thoman’s latest book, he has created a fresh, new narrative about Padre Pio. Drawing on the early Italian sources, the Letters of Padre Pio, and important new biographies in Italian, this book generously adds to the repertoire of research on the stigmatized saint from San Giovanni Rotondo. The fact is that an updated biography was needed in the English language.

Before Padre Pio’s canonization on June 16, 2002, there was reticence regarding crucial aspects of his life. During much of his lifetime, the Capuchin friars themselves were forbidden from visiting him. The superiors of the order did not want to create the appearance that they approved of Padre Pio and the events that were being reported in San Giovanni Rotondo. In truth, for decades before and after his death, Padre Pio was misunderstood. He had fervent supporters and vicious detractors alike. Until there was clarity from the hierarchy, there was reluctance to speak—and especially write—on the more controversial aspects, especially from authoritative sources. For this reason, many facets of Padre Pio’s life in the early biographies were omitted or glossed over—especially regarding any supernatural phenomena.

This changed after two events: the publication of the comprehensive fourth edition of the Epistolario (in English, Letters of Padre Pio) in 2000 and Padre Pio’s canonization in 2002. The canonization, in particular, was seen as an imprimatur on all aspects of the life of Padre Pio. From that point on, studies of the life of Padre Pio did withhold the controversies, which were no longer controversial.

Before these two events, much of our understanding of Padre Pio was informed by the earlier, incomplete biographies. Since then, a number of updated publications have been released in Italian, which Thoman utilized to create a thorough, succinct, English-language biography of Padre Pio.

I would like to have heard this narrated by a real person, but the story is comprehensive and well written.

An excellent telling of St. Pio's story.

I am in a tough spiritual battle of my own. I look to the lives of the Saints for inspiration and it brings me comfort. The times we live in are troubled but seeing Padre Pio live through both world wars and suffer physically as he did, I know our struggle pales in comparison. St. Padre Pio pray for us wretched and undeserving souls, Amen.

St. Padre Pio pray for us.

After reading several biographies of Padre Pio, this one stands out with a deep understanding of his heart. The author’s own
spiritual development was clearly impacted, not just by book knowledge, but by the saint himself. The virtual reading is OK, but I was bothered by the mispronunciation of some words, such as “charism.” In one section it was pronounced correctly, and then reverted back to an incorrect pronunciation, “chair-ism.” There were words also.

I am a big fan of Padre Pio, and so this was very easy read for me. The performance and the use of the voice to read the story all worked perfectly well.

The entire book was wonderful.
