Adolfo Affatato is one of the last living spiritual sons of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. Recently translated into English, “Padre Pio and I” is the culmination of what he witnessed as he sat by the saint’s side for sixteen years. This is not a typical biography by a journalist, friar, or academic; instead, the author presents “the Padre” intimately and personally -- as a father figure who tenderly guided and directed him. This book is filled with riveting new accounts of the mystical side of Padre Pio: from the moment Affatato was called by name by Padre Pio out of a crowd to Padre Pio’s characteristic rose-scented fragrance Affatato does not disappoint. Yet, the author’s motivation for writing this book is not to boast of supernatural phenomena he was privileged to witness. Instead, it is a response to what Padre Pio once told him some six decades ago: “Give the love that I have put into your heart to those to whom you draw near, because in this is the meaning of life.” And Adolfo has spent his adult life responding to that mandate. While most octogenarians spend their final years in repose, Adolfo tirelessly traverses the Italian peninsula giving conferences to audiences of a few dozen or a few thousand. He has spoken to popes, cardinals and countesses and regularly appears on Catholic radio and secular prime-time talk shows alike. And he never accepts a cent for his work; all proceeds for his book sales are donated to a charity. Now for the first time what Adolfo received from Padre Pio is available in English. For those who want to know Padre Pio “more and better” this book is a must read. “This book has touched the heart of Italy; yet, it also touched me. This book can change your life."

I liked everything about this book. It made me ask St.Padre Pio is I could be his spiritual daughter. It was overwhelmingly wonderful!

The virtual voice narration was quite excellent. It had good annunciation, and I never felt like I was listening to a VR narration.

Good intro to Padre Pop

Needs a human to tell the story. It misses something without human voice. Please consider this. Thank you

If you have already read multiple biographies about Padre Pio, and you know all the well known stories about him, this book will be a surprise. Hearing the firsthand, personal experiences of the author is amazing and reveals the true heart of the beloved saint, and how he has impacted the life of a man in the vocation that many of us are called to—marriage and family. The author himself tells the reader how Padre Pio advised and guided him to a Holy life, set apart but in the world. I will read it again and I am sure glean something more than what I already have.
