FROM A CATHOLIC BESTSELLING AUTHOR! The sacred stigmata in the life of stigmatist Saint Padre Pio, who bore both the invisible and visible wounds of Christ. Padre Pio is a recent stigmatic in Church history. The original stigmata work with Our Sunday Visitor received dozens of top notch reviews from scholars and critics the world over. This volume focuses on the stigmatic Padre Pio of Pietrelcina and the author's personal interviews with Padre Pio's friends and companions for the last three years of his life. The interviews were conducted in San Giovanni Rotondo, Foggia, Italy, where Padre Pio lived the last several decades of his life. A must read! A recent endorsement: "I have to say that of the many books I have read (having multiple degrees in theology -including my Doctorate from Columbia University) your "They Bore the Wounds of Christ: The Mystery of the Sacred Stigmata..." is one of my all time favorites. In fact not only do I continue to refer to it, but there are certain passages that you explain that could only be attributable to infused divine inspiration. Please continue to write ... Peace, Deacon Mike Vicinanza" (April 17, 2016).
