This saint carried the cross for 50 years

Padre Pio's Lenten Guidance Few people know that for Padre Pio, the Lenten season extended throughout the year. Every single day he woke up with the wounds of Christ and offered his life in union with Christ's cross. More than any saint, Padre Pio quite literally embodied the Lenten sacrifice. Now, for the first time, Susan De Bartoli (author of the bestselling Advent devotional Welcoming the Christ Child with Padre Pio) invites you on a transformative Lenten journey reading carefully through selected excerpts from Padre Pio's letters. Discover how he embraced each day as a "little Lent," drawing closer to holiness by uniting his sufferings and sacrifices with Christ. Through the six weeks of Lent, you will accompany Pio through the significant spiritual moments of his life, including these: His childhood experiences that led him to consecrate himself to Jesus and Mary His teenage calling that erupted into a flame of intense, lifelong love His mystical gifts—including the stigmata—and purposeful suffering His spiritual battles against the powers of evil His "mystical touches" that consoled him and enabled him to persevere His devotion of Christ's Passion and his intent to offer himself for souls Each week begins with a Marian-themed reflection followed by four days that explore aspects of Pio's supernatural gifts and challenges. Each week concludes with a story about his encounter with a consoling angel who helped him carry his crosses. This wonderful new Lenten devotional from the Saint who best understood the Lenten season is sure to sell out. Each year since its publication, we have run out of copies of the Advent Padre Pio devotionals. Order your copy and copies for your friends and loved ones today. God bless you!
