Through the six weeks of Lent, you will accompany Pio through the significant spiritual moments of his life, including these: His childhood experiences that led him to consecrate himself to Jesus and Mary His teenage calling that erupted into a flame of intense, lifelong love His mystical gifts—including the stigmata—and purposeful suffering His spiritual battles against the powers of evil His “mystical touches” that consoled him and enabled him to persevere His devotion of Christ’s Passion and his intent to offer himself for souls Each week begins with a Marian-themed reflection followed by four days that explore aspects of Pio’s supernatural gifts and challenges. Each week concludes with a story about his encounter with a consoling angel.
