The Boy Who Saw Angels

But long before the world knew any of that, there was a barefoot boy named Francesco Forgione , growing up in the hills of Pietrelcina, a child who already saw what others could not, who already suffered what others could not explain, and who already loved with a devotion that would one day set the whole Church on fire. The Boy Who Saw Angels opens the hidden years of one of the most beloved figures in modern Catholic devotion. Here is the whole man behind the prayer card, the child, the son, the young novice, the agonized seminarian, and here is the God who was shaping him every step of the way.
