This is a book of quotes taken from the writings and letters of Padre (now Saint) Pio. The first few quotes were kind of hard going, and I put the book aside for about... eight years. (No sense in rushing these things.)

This Lenten season I decided to pick it up again - and, strangely, suddenly the readings in this book had a lot more weight for me. Things rang true and made sense.

I'm not saying that every quote in this book is easy reading, or even that you'll understand them fully right away - but I think you should read this book. Whether you are religious or not, you need to read this book. If nothing else, the quotes in it will make you think very deeply over unusual sides of subjects you never even contemplated before.

This book is perfect for Lenten readings, or any kind of spiritual meditation series. I highly recommend it. ( )
