http://www.janson.com/dvd/show_title.php?pid=20238
In this incredible documentary film, Padre Pio tells his story. The voice of the simple friar from Pietrelcina lives on through his own writings, recalling various moments from his remarkable life. Padre Pio is now known as Blessed Pio of Pietrelcina, as a result of his beatification on May 2nd,1999, by Pope John Paul II. A humble Capuchin priest from San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, Padre Pio was blessed by God in many wonderful and mysterious ways. He was born to Giuseppa and Grazio Forgione, peasant farmers, in the small Italian village of Pietrelcina on May 25, 1887. From his childhood, it was evident that he was a true child of God.

@271828183141592654 Col. 1:24- Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church. (KJV)

Really, nobody else feels intellectually insulted by this?

God does not need anyone to save people. It is true that what Christ did on the cross is the TRUE redemption but that does not mean that Padre Pio is not a Saint. Saints ask God to share in His sufferings not to save other people because only God saves through His grace, but these Saints have the privilege to suffer like Jesus suffered. All saints through history suffered for the Truth, Paul and Peter, James, Stephen and many others suffered Martyrdom, Jesus promissed persecution

@271828183141592654: Christ has done what was needed you are correct. Yet, we should still strive to be and act like christ in every way possible. We must strive to be perfect like Christ and to resist the temptations of the world. Padre pio won't save anyone, as a catholic I believe that his life story will aid people in being converted and then being saved by Christ. To suffer overall brings us closer to what christ had to endure, and it brings up closer to an understanding of God.

@RockyBalboa211, good day. I am an non-catholic but I believe that Christ has already done what should be done for redemption. We need not suffer just like how Christ suffered. What is the point? Who will this Padre Pio save after all this? Christ suffered tremendously for our sins. Why would He allow another mortal to go through all these passion and sufferings again? If the catholic church supports this, it is a very unfair doctrine for it belittles what Christ already did.

@RockyBalboa211 very good answer. non catholics dont understand or refuse to understand that we believe Jesus is the One we worship and is worthy of worship. Padre Pio helps us with our faith and points us to Jesus. Jesus used Padre Pio to call us to Him
