People who met him understood immediately that they were in contact with a Christlike figure.
With sweetness, humility, and good cheer, he brought everyone who encountered him closer to Christ.
Pio gave himself to Christ as a spiritual victim for the souls of sinners.
His love of God became intertwined with his love of humanity so that the two became inseparable and unwavering.
Padre Pio is notable not for his erudition or even his teachings, per se, but for the man he was and the intercessor he continues to be.
