Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati - Man of the Beatitudes Fr. Tim Deeter

This talk inspired everyone in my family, especially my 9-year-old son and my 7-year-old daughter. Listening to this CD was a great way to bring our whole family, all 8 of us, together to learn, listen, and then discuss the life choices of these two men.

Thank you so much for this talk! This has provided me the encouragement and assurance that a poor sinner like me truly can become a saint. Jeremy - Haubstadt, IN
Wow! I now have a new understanding of the word 'saint' Cecelia - Cincinnati, OH


Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy into a family of wealth and status, Pier Giorgio enjoyed good friends, hiking and skiing, museums and music, and was involved in political action, He found that deep prayer, service to the poor, and a passion for bringing others to Christ led to a life of purpose, peace, and happiness. Pier Giorgio died at the age of 24 on July 4, 1925. He was beatified on May 20, 1990 by Pope John Paul II who referred to him as a "man of the beatitudes".

BONUS: As a teenager, Brian Walch had everything the world tells us we should want. While still immersed in our modern culture, he had a radical deepening of his Catholic Faith which led him to his martyrdom for Christ in 1975. His cause for canonization has been opened.
