The Last Mass of Padre Pio by Alessandro Gnocchi

The Last Mass of Padre Pio
By Alessandro Gnocchi

"Later, as an aged Capuchin friar, the mere thought of the liturgical reform, which would take effect in 1969, was sufficient to raise in him a holy horror. Throughout his life the holy friar had been obedient even unto martyrdom, but at this time the only request he dared to put forth to the authorities of the Church was to be exempted from the novelties of the impending liturgical reform."

For the first time published in English, go behind the cloister walls and discover an unknown side to this incredible stigmatist priest. Includes photographs, and interviews with close friends and spiritual sons.
