"Padre Pio" |
Patrick O'Donovan |
$3.45 (booklet) |
"Padre Pio died in 1968 in his Italian monastery. Like all 'stigmatics' (who carry the wounds of Christ) his life raised a great deal of interest, healthy and otherwise. Without any doubt his simple humanity, humility, everyday holiness and care of souls shine through the mists of any religious curiousity. He partook of Christ's sufferings in an exceptional way reserved to only a few. He was beatified in May 1999, in Rome, by John Paul ll. This very popular account of his life - from childhood, to the military, to the monastery - by Patrick O'Donovan has been eloquently revised by Glynn MacNiven-Johnson."

"Pegeen" |
Hilda van Stockum |
$16.75 (paperback) |
" Young Pegeen, one of the good friends Francie made on his trips around the Emerald Isle, has just lost her Grannie. When she is told that she can't stay on alone in the small mountain cottage, Pegeen remembers Francie's promise to come for her in a white ship. With Fr. Kelly's help she writes to the O'Sullivans, to be welcomed temporarily into their household. No one, except perhaps Francie, is quite prepared for Pegeen's knack of turning the world up on end. Her spirit is a perfect match for his, but two such personalities in one small cottage on Bantry Bay have startling consequences - all of which add up to a lively and unforgettable Irish tale." (from the publisher's catalogue) 272 pages |

Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R. |
