Words of Light: Inspiration from the Letters of Padre Pio
$15.99
Many books have been written on the life and works of Padre Pio, but Words of Light is
not a book about what others think or say about him. Here, he speaks
for himself. If you are interested in the complexities and challenges of
contemporary faith, you will benefit from these short teachings,
counsels, and recollections culled from some of Padre Pio's most
personal writings.
The world was startled in 2007 by revelations that Mother Teresa of Calcutta's spiritual life was full of serious doubts and personal suffering for nearly 50 years. The other great saint of the last half century - Padre Pio - offers similar revelations of his own in this enlightening collection of short excerpts from his letters
In these letters I quickly discovered the same states of soul that were described by the great mystics. Padre Pio's own 'dark night' was in no way inferior to that described by John of the Cross, and equally the 'living flame' of his love for God dazzles the reader and allows them to catch a glimpse of another world.
