Hello, John!

Advent is just weeks away. Like Lent, the liturgical color for Advent is purple since both are seasons that prepare us for great feast days. Advent also includes an element of penance in the sense of preparing, quieting, and disciplining our hearts for the full joy of Christmas. 

Prepare your hearts for this joyous season with a limited-time, limited-stock booklet, Daily Reflections with Saint Padre Pio. This is a special offering for 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. 

St. Pio, help us to remember that, although we may not fully understand the trials and challenges we face, we can have faith that God is always with us.

- Excerpt from Advent 2024, Daily Reflections with Saint Padre Pio

The mysteries surrounding Saint Padre Pio’s legacy—his stigmata, visions, miracles—sometimes make the 20th-century Italian 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. St. 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.
