Padre Pio - The Irish Connection: Astonishing Real-Life Stories of Miracles and Cures

There are accounts of scientifically inexplicable recoveries from cancer, depression and heart disease along with revivals from strokes and life-threatening viral infections. Also featured are visions, apparitions and supernormal coincidences.

Elsewhere in the book, early Irish pilgrims speak of trail-blazing journeys to San Giovanni Rotondo in the 1950s and '60s, while visits by devotees to Padre Pio's beatification in 1999 and his canonisation in 2002 are vividly recounted.

Using personal testimonies, Padre Pio – The Irish Connection documents the widespread influence of this complex and intriguing Italian saint, who bore the wounds of Christ for half a century until his death in 1968.
