Padre Pio: Man of God |
|
In this incredible documentary film, Padre Pio tells his story. The voice of
the simple friar from Pietrelcina lives on through his own writings,
recalling various moments from his remarkable life. Padre Pio is now known
as Blessed Pio of Pietrelcina, as a result of his beatification on May
2nd,1999, by Pope John Paul II. A humble Capuchin priest from San Giovanni
Rotondo, Italy, Padre Pio was blessed by God in many wonderful and
mysterious ways. He was born to Giuseppa and Grazio Forgione, peasant
farmers, in the small Italian village of Pietrelcina on May 25, 1887. From
his childhood, it was evident that he was a true child of God.
Padre Pio and the Stigmata
The most dramatic sign of his special grace was the stigmata. Padre Pio bore
the wounds of Jesus on his hands, feet, and side for fifty years. Several
days before he died in 1968, all evidence of the wounds disappeared. In this
film, Padre Pio describes how he first received the stigmata, and how he
lived with it throughout his life. He speaks of himself as a confessor and
spiritual guide, a man of prayer and a man of God. Other wonders have been
granted to Padre Pio, including the gift of prophecy and the ability to
effect miraculous cures.
Padre Pio: Man of God includes interviews with those who knew him best,
including Oscar Luigi Scalfaro, Enzo Biagi, Renzo Arbore, and his fellow
monks, Father Gerardo Di Flumeri, Father Paolo Cuvino, and Brother Modestino
of Pietrelcina.
The voice of Padre Pio is Christopher Jones.
