  • Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati was an ordinary man who lived an extraordinary life of charity and vivaciousness. He loved our Lord and saw beauty in His creation especially the mountains and mountain climbing, with became his passion.
    Fr Gregory Pine O.P. presents his life as an example of how God can make ordinary things and an ordinary life into a deeply profound and influential one.
    "In the end the only tragedy is not to have become a saint."

    i often feel like to be a great saint you need to be a consecrated monk so hearing stories like this are very important and inspiring

      If you are a monk, it is easier for you to be canonized. But God has many saints living normal lives. See Saint Gianna Beretta Molla or the Blessed Sandra Sabattini, Blessed Carlo Acutis,

    I'm an Engineering Student in Turin and I've grown a lot in my devotion to Bl. Piergiorgio recently. Praying for his canonization!
    Btw, I can't believe Fr. Pine forgot to mention that Bl. Piergiorgio was a Third Order Dominican!

    Dear Father Gregory, your summary presentation of Blessed Pier-Giorgio Frassati was excellent, but I felt that you were talking at a speed of a hundred miles an hour! Unfortunately, you forgot to mention that he was a Dominican Tertiary (a lay Dominican), a venial sin... ! I am a fan of yours in Vancouver, Canada. Please convey my warmest greetings to my great friend, Fr. Emmanuel Durand who, I believe, is your prior in Fribourg. Father Gabriel OP

    • @o0OAnnamariaO0o

      I'm a little confused, since 'Frassati' is a family name only in italian. Is it common in the US (are you feom the US?) to use family names as middle names? I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm german speaking, and in the german speaking countries you wouldn't be legally able to give that very name to your child.
      May God bless your son!

    Thanks for this Father. I also wish you would have mentioned he was a Lay Dominican… how that may have formed him, why he chose that ect. I’m a Lay Dominican myself and hike a lot too. Mostly say my morning prayers out there, I subtly understand that maybe he was doing the same. I was recently life professed and when asked at my interview why, I really had no answer. I think it went somewhere along the lines of “I’m here, because I’m here”. It’s so hard to understand the whole Lay thing. And it would be good to learn from them who went before us. There a handful of Third Order Saints out there, at least. But little to nothing is ever mentioned, about how that “Lay” state within the order helped them become whom they were meant to become. I suppose the crumbs underneath the table are enough. Have an awesomely fruitful rest of your week Father!
