About this listen

Adolfo Affatato is one of the last living spiritual sons of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. When he was sixteen years old, he was called by name by Padre Pio out of a crowd in the hot, crowded sacristy, though he had never met Padre Pio. Padre Pio placed his hand on his head and said, “I have been waiting for you for many years.” Soon afterward, he became a spiritual son of Padre Pio.

In this follow-up to his first book, Padre Pio and I: Memoirs of a Spiritual Son, Adolfo shares more stories and personal reflections on the life of Padre Pio. He begins by describing how his concept of faith was changed when he encountered Padre Pio for the first time in the sacristy of Santa Maria delle Grazie. From a form of faith based on habit, his intellect was awakened, and his soul encountered the supernatural. He describes it in the following words: “Blessed be that day in July 1953 when a ray of divine light fell on me and completely changed my life. That day was if I walked through a door from which I could not return.”

Adolfo had the good fortune to sit by the saint’s side for sixteen years. During this time, Padre Pio became a spiritual guide and father to him. He kept a diary, in which he recorded what he witnessed and learned. Affatato was a firsthand witness to many inexplicable supernatural experiences, for which the stigmatized saint from San Giovanni Rotondo is famous. But Padre Pio was not a miracle worker for Adolfo; he was a spiritual father who showed him the face of Christ and taught him how to love.

In this new book, published in English for the first time, Adolfo offers deeper, more meditative reflections. He writes of Prayer, Our Lady, Mystery, St. Paul, and the numerous Charisms Padre Pio possessed. He concludes with his trip to America and the way he discovered Padre Pio interceding even there. On the cover of his first book is a simple sentence: “This is a book that can change your life.” Just as Adolfo’s life was transformed by Padre Pio, whoever reads this book can receive the same graces. (As with Adolfo's first book, 100% of the royalties will be donated to the Capuchin Friars of San Giovanni Rotondo for their works.)
