Padre Pio's Spiritual Direction for Every Day

Reflective, shares his peace.

This is a treasure trove of wisdom. I return to these pages over and over. It is especially good as a companion in adoration. I have gained so many insights and found great encouragement in the pages of this book. I wish it were in journal form. I have found the entries have prompted much of my private journaling.

He never gets old. I am on my second or third year of reading each day with my morning coffee, and his words are fresh and relevant to me each day. There are some days that he is very dark, but it is all part of understanding him. Some of what he writes I refer to often.

I have been reading Padre Pio's letters for years. They are good aids to meditation and to growth in the spiritual life, and since I seem to need a constant reminder, I read and reread them for daily inspiration. Problem was, I could not carry the thick books of letters with me on the bus, so when I saw this daily short readings book for kindle, I bought it immediately, and it is part of my daily inspiration on the bus. I don't have to wait until I get home. :) Yes, I'm a Padre Pio fan. If you're not, you should read Bernard Ruffin's book, "Padre Pio, The True Story", revised and expanded. Get this version. It's very rich in first person accounts. Ruffin interviewed people close to Padre Pio himself, and this book is hard to put down. It reads like a great mystery story, but it's all true. Anyway, this daily Padre Pio I recommend highly.

Pasquale compiled an inspiring book of daily meditations, thoughts and prayers from St. Pio. The devotional contains excerpts of Padre Pio's writing while on life's journey. I found it to be a good addition to my daily devotional.

This is a superb collection of writings of St. Padre Pio and it will help you to appreciate the simplicity and sanctity of this wonderful saint. These writings will help you and your journey following God. Thank you.

Padre Pio reaches my level of understanding quite well. He has been and will continue to be a good source for me in my spiritual journey.

I got this book for my sister since she likes Padre pio. She was thrilled about the book 📙 and she started to read the book the moment that it arrived and she said thanks for thinking of me and will enjoy reading some more of the book in the next days.

We take note of the lives of exceptional saints. St Pio of Pietrelcina - or as we would prefer to say, St Padre Pio - was exceptional. This collection of his letters to priests and nuns and lay people make us think more deeply about following Jesus Christ. In his life time he amazed thousands and, as he once said, he can, and wants to, still help people from Heaven. His letter to Fr Agostino numbered as February 2nd is beautiful yet heartbreaking.

Curtas e profundas orientações espirituais que ajudam a todos na caminhada de união com Deus.

This book has extracts of letters of Padre Pio which act as a thought for the day - it is rich food for the spirit, as he lived out the truths which he refers to. There is an extraordinary transparency as he is writing to his mentor and also when he is writing AS a mentor, showing heart moving struggles to arrive at victory through Christ in our spirits and lives. The bible says we are more than conquerors, this book depicts how - from our inner man remaining unperturbed by suffering, pain and cirucumstance, to quieetly have faith, hope and love, the cardinal christian virtues which really do what it says on the tin! He is reawarded with spiritual heights not only in power but also in peace of the soul and love for others, fulfiling the second commandment to love thy neigbor as yourself. Buy it! Dine on rich feasts!

I’ve read a lot of books about Padre Pio, but this one is by far the BEST! It isn’t about supernatural gifts or strange happenings, it isn’t about his stigmata. It’s his SPIRITUAL insight through a series of letters he wrote, and after all, isn’t that what the signs and wonders all point to? For anyone wanting to change their life, get closer to God, this is the book to buy!

As P.Pio is one of my favourite saints, I enjoy having this at hand to read through especially when I'm faced with life's stuggles.
