"What is the value of knowing about Padre Pio? We find it in the truth that God sends Saints that meet the needs of the times. Every Saint is a prophet for his times. And every prophet is a beacon casting light upon the present and future pathway of men. We...have our prophets - yes true ones sent by God, who have laboured and taught after the example of Jesus. It is our duty to know them and to follow them in order not to earn the reproof of our Lord. One of these prophets is certainly Padre Pio. We do not hesitate to call him a prophet extraordinary in holiness and works, worthy to stand alongside the greatest prophets of the Church. He speaks to the men of today, so needful of God. He points out to all, the way in the Gospel to holiness and to the perfect following of Christ our Lord." - From the Preface
