It would be nice if you’d all send Mr. Rega greetings. He has worked so hard on this book and it should be on the shelves in January '05.

Bless y’all,

Shannin, I remember my grandparents had a book about (then) Padre Pio, which I read as a little girl, before his death, when I was about 10. (Ok, I was a precocious kid, I admit it). I loved the book which was filled with episodes from the saint’s life and his words to others. . .one episode so affected me that even now, in my 40s, I don’t wear nail polish, because St. Pio counseled a woman not to do so.

My own dad died exactly one month after St. Pio died, and I remember praying that they would both be together in Heaven.

I look forward to reading this book when it is published.
