Incredible is the number of times the Capuchins sent him home sick unto death while a seminarian and young priest and how he was finally sent to remote San Giovanni Rotondo &ldquo;for a couple of weeks of mountain air.&rdquo; He never left. But from this small, remote mountain friary, he became world-famous and exercised unbelievable influence on the entire world&mdash;though early on, he was forbidden by his superiors to preach, to write, or to correspond. A few clerics developed enmity toward Padre Pio, resulting several times in orders from his superiors that he be moved. It is simply hilarious to learn why he never was; though being under obedience, he was entirely willing to do so. <br /><br />Author Frank Rega also weaves in the Saint&rsquo;s early work with \"L&rsquo;Americana,\" Mary Pyle, his &ldquo;foreign ambassadress,&rdquo; and then with the American GI&rsquo;s who came to visit him during World War II, when San Giovanni Rotondo was liberated from the Germans. Padre Pio developed a special love for Americans and America&mdash;to the point that he wished that all Americans would become his spiritual children. <br /><br />This book demonstrate Padre Pio&rsquo;s great love for his parents, his amazing sense of humor, his abstemious eating, his uncanny knowledge of people (even before they visited), and his profound supernatural awareness. In sum, <em><strong>Padre Pio and America</strong></em> is an inspiring book that will instill a profound awe in readers, because it shows the impact a truly saintly priest can have on all who come into contact with him&mdash;and in Padre Pio&rsquo;s case, even on the whole world!<br /><br /><em>&ldquo;Your book is excellent! I found it hard to put down. . . . It is easy to commend your work. . . . The Lord reward you forever.&rdquo;</em> -Fr. Angelus M. Shaughnessy, O.F.M.
