PADRE PIO, MIRACLE MAN The Priest Who Bore the Wounds of Christ DVD

Description

Sergio Castellitto stars as the famous Italian saint, Padre Pio. Like St. Francis of Assisi, Padre Pio had the stigmata: the wounds of Christ visible on his body. Throughout his life, he performed miracles and healings, caring for both the physically sick as well as those with spiritual illnesses. This film follows Padre Pio’s life from a young boy through his death. Director Carlo Carlei captures the humility, humor, and common sense of St. Pio, as well as showing the persecution he suffered from both satanic attacks and misguided Church officials who distrusted him. Italian with English subtitles. Dubbed in English and Spanish. Color. 214 minutes.
