“Send Me Your Guardian Angel” is not just an inspiring testament to St Padre Pio’s holiness. It does remind us of his stigmata, ecstasy and conversations with Jesus and Mary. It also reminds us of how revered he was during his lifetime. I’m still picturing the little italian ladies chasing Padre Pio with scissors, eager to snatch pieces of his clothes for relics!

Review: Hand in Hand with Jesus by Karen in Mommyland Blog
I think the whole concept of this journal is pretty cool. First off, it’s actually two journals in one. The first journal is Hand in hand with Jesus which covers catechesis on the seven Sacraments and teaching of the Catholic faith.
