The Saints of the Missal. Pier Giorgio Frassati. His Life: Upward

Valerio Lessi’s distinctive pen draws an agile and passionate portrait of the life of Pier Giorgio Frassati. His was an exuberant vitality, aptly captured in the words of a friend: Pier Giorgio is an “avalanche of life.” A lover of the mountains, he was guided through life by a motto: “To the heights.” And toward the heights he directed his entire brief and radiant life, lived among the poor, though he was born rich; lived by cultivating the profound value of friendship with Jesus and with others; lived in tireless service and deep faith. “We must never merely get by, but live”—this is what he continues to teach us, he who lived life to the full.
