Hello, John!

The season of Advent is coming! This is a beautiful time, when we spend the weeks before Christmas preparing our hearts and minds for Christ. 

However, Advent can be a hectic time for you, your family, and your parish community. Be encouraged to take a few extra moments this season to pray and reflect with this daily Advent devotional as a guide. 

This year Franciscan Media is offering a limited-time, limited-stock booklet, Daily Reflections with Saint Padre Pio. This is a special offering for just this season with limited inventory. Order yours today before they're sold out.  These special booklets come in packs of 10, so they can be shared with your family, friends, and fellow parishioners. 

The mysteries surrounding Saint Padre Pio’s legacy—his stigmata, visions, miracles—sometimes make the Italian 20th-century saint difficult to relate to. In this Advent booklet, St. Anthony Messenger’s executive editor Susan Hines-Brigger helps readers connect with the person behind the saint: his simplicity and lifestyle of prayer, piety, and poverty. Saint Pio’s daily example as a follower of Christ helps guide readers through a reflective and prayer-filled Advent season.  

This booklet is sold in packs of 10.
