"A Celebration of Padre Pio - Pray, Hope and Don't Worry"
(Pray, Hope and Don't Worry)

Documnentary Film on ST. PIO of PIETRELCINA

For the first time, you will see exclusive scenes of His Holiness, Pope John Paul II,
in prayer and deep meditation at the tomb of Padre Pio. And you will witness trestimonies
by some who have been touched by Padre Pio's miraculous insights.

For 50 years, Padre Pio lived with the pain and the glory of the stigmata, the five wounds of Our Lord,
Jesus. Here is an absorbing hour of faith and joy about this
gentle priest who may become become a saint in our time.

Pope John Paul II recently visited the historic monastery where Padre Pio lived and died.
This was the third time he had come to the remote village in southern Italy, San Giovanni Rotondo.

On his first visit many years ago, His Holiness was just a simple priest and
it was then that Padre Pio told him he would,
one day, become Pope and that he would be covered in his own blood. Both prophecies have come to pass!
On his second visit, John Paul II was Cardinal of Krakov, in his native Poland.
But on his third visit he came as Christ's Vicar on earth to celebrate The Holy Mass.
It was 25 May 1987, the 100th anniversary of Padre Pio's birth.

One of the greatest stories ever told. As recently as 1968 Padre Pio died in a Franciscan Monastery in Southern Italy.
For 50 years he bore the wounds of Christ's Passion. Thousands visited him every year when he was
alive to be cured of their bodily and spiritual ills. Even more visit his tomb today. Why?
This video includes personal testimonies of healing, bilocation, powers of conversion,
prophecy etc., and Pope John Paul II's visit to San Giovanni Rotondo. A CELEBRATION OF PADRE PIO
was directed by award-winning English filmmaker, J. Paddy Nolan with the spoken word
by Sir Michael Hordern.
(As seen on EWTN of Mother Angelica).

"Padre Pio's Way of the Cross"

Documnentary Film on ST. PIO of PIETRELCINA

Padre Pio said, "After the sacrifice of the Mass, the Way of the Cross is the most powerful prayer of petition.
"Father Alessio invites you to come to San Giovanni and follow the Way of the Cross in the footsteps of Padre Pio.
The director of the English office, Father Alessio, looked after Padre Pio constantly for six years
towards the end of his life. In this video he leads us on the journey to Calvary, as he reads Padre Pio's
own words on the Passion of Jesus. In the Fifth Station Padre Pio is shown with his pierced hands carrying
the cross in place of Simon of Cyrene. The first stone of the Way of the Cross was blessed by
Padre Pio on the day before he died in 1968. This beautiful devotion completes a pilgrimage to
San Giovanni Rotondo, offering a quiet place for meditative prayer,
in the "city on the mountain" prophesied by Padre Pio.

PADRE PIO'S WAY OF THE CROSS was directed by award-winning English filmmaker, J. Paddy Nolan.
