Tosatti, Marco

White Star Editions

The first of its kind, this volume offers an emotional and authentic portrait of John Paul II. A discreet but constant presence, photojournalist Gianni Giansanti has photographed the successor to the Throne of Peter over the course of his long pontificate, during excursions among the crowds, in moments of personal meditation, and from, his first steps across the papal threshold to his recent and difficult trip to the Holy Land. The accompanying text is the work of Marco Tosatti, Vatican correspondent for the Italian daily newspaper LA STAMPA, who has covered John Paul II daily, for almost twenty years. The resulting blend is a thrilling series of tableaux chronicling the events of our own recent history, filled with the uncertainties and the hopes which have marked the turning of this century.From behind the scenes at the Vatican to his pastoral trips, the Pope emerges as a man of faith in solitary prayer and as a statesman at the table with the world's most powerful politicians. Karel Wojtyla appears more than ever as a complex figure restored to his genuine human dimension. In the final chapter of this remarkable volume, the ecumenical role of the Pope, perhaps the most distinguishing feature of his pontificate, is documented.The authors accompany the reader to every corner of the globe, illustrating the detailed preparation that precedes the Pope's every pastoral visit to distant lands, his rare moments of privacy, his arrival and welcome in the Philippines, Poland and in Mexico by millions of the faithful, his meetings with extraordinary figures. like Mother Theresa of Calcutta, and his historical trips to Fidel Castro?'s Havana and to St. Catherine?'s monastery in the Sinai. Many of the pictures in the book are taken from John Paul II's unforgettable pilgrimage to Jerusalem where he performed his role as ambassador of the message of evangelism.

Les contamos una historia extraordinaria, un duelo de tiempos antiguos, una lucha que parece increíble en nuestro tiempo y que, sin embargo, es real. Es la historia del combate entre los santos y el demonio.San Giovanni Rotondo fue el escenario de una batalla continua, diaria, durísima, cuerpo a cuerpo, entre el Padre Pío y Satanás, que se sirvió de todo instrumento, ordinario y extraordinario, para aplastar a quien evidentemente consideraba un combatiente temible.Satanás se le aparece bajo las formas más variadas: como jovencitas desnudas bailando lascivamente; en forma de Cristo crucificado, para confundirle; simulando ser su padre espiritual para darle consejos perversos; disfrazado de San Pío X; aparentando ser el Ángel de la Guarda, san Francisco o María Santísima, pero también bajo sus verdaderas apariencias horribles, con un ejército de espíritus infernales que golpean al pobre Padre hasta hacerle sangrar, le atormentan con ruidos ensordecedores, le escupen en la cara o le arrojan al suelo con violencia. Ataques frente a los que el Padre Pío siempre se mantuvo fiel a Jesucristo.Junto a la del Padre Pío, este libro recoge también las historias de personas extraordinarias que sufrieron el ataque más duro que el Maligno puede librar contra un alma, la posesión, y que, con la ayuda de Dios, vencieron.
