Book excerpt: Padre Pio is a masterpiece of God's love for us.With Padre Pio the extraordinary was ordinary, the uncommon was common, thesupernatural was natural, the unthinkable was routine, and the unpredictable was norm.It cannot be imagined a more complete, lasting, unwavering selflessness in a human being.From birth to death every day of his life was consumed by the love and imitation of Godthrough Jesus, consumed by the love and help for the suffering humanity of his brothers andsisters on earth, consumed by the love and suffrage of the souls in Purgatory to shorten andmitigate their pain, consumed by the love and obedience at any price to the Roman CatholicChurch.God lavished on him his gifts with an abundance that has no equal.And Padre Pio made good use of them, with healings, resurrections, levitations, prophecy,reading the hearts, speaking in tongues, reading unknown languages, spreading a scent offlowers, multiplying food in times of need, permanent visible presence of the GuardianAngel, frequent visitations with heavenly Beings, seeing the souls from Purgatory, knowingin details the status of the deceased, preventing bodily harm in bilocation, preventing caraccidents in bilocation, preventing destruction of things in bilocation, healing in bilocation,assisting in bilocation dying people for a peaceful trespassing.He did those things while ingesting minimal food, taking minimal sleep, having constantheadaches, enduring a lifelong chronic bronchitis frequently diagnosed as pulmonarytubercolosis, going through bouts of extremely high fevers and profuse nightly sweating.Padre Pio's distinguishing characteristics were kindness, joy, serenity, humility,modesty, piety, attitude of forgiveness, perfect obedience to all ecclesiasticalauthorities,He relived the Passion of Christ through thousands of Masses.By raising his right wounded hand He absolved millions of sins.He walked millions of painful steps on his wounded feet.His fingers went through millions of rosaries. His lips uttered billions of "Ave Maria".His body went through billions of seconds in pain for the wounds.Each and every one of His trillions of heartbeats was a grandiose symphony for the Glory ofGod.163Now He is in Heaven immersed in the joy of the beatific vision.In Paradise he continues to work for us, pray for us, intercede for us, distributing all kinds ofgraces for the asking.The only thing he doesn't do anymore is suffering.Thank you God for having given us Padre Pio.
