Alessio Parente

In this book, Fr. Alessio Parente brings back the "old fashioned" idea that we are in the presence of a celestial companion who, as Padre Pio said, "does not abandon us, even when we disgust God." The Church Dogma on the Angels already tells us this; but in this book, we find out just how true it is, through the experiences of St. Pio and his spiritual children.

A lovely collection of stories on Padre Pio revolving around his Guardian Angel.

Bought from the bookstore at the church in his home town. I wish they had more of these books in circulation at the local bookstore. But perhaps the shipping fees would be horrendous.

This is a great book in describing St. Padre Pio's encounters with the souls from purgatory who visited him. It includes spiritual advice in how he dealt with them and how we should, also. Very instructive, helpful and fascinating. Black and white photos.

Love his Stations of the Cross and meditations of the Rosary.
