Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati knew suffering intimately. He endured spiritual trials and deep anguish over the injustices of the world. In a letter to a friend, he wrote, "Imagine now, when my soul is going through this crisis, I had the misfortune of not believing... Life would not be worth a moment longer, and death alone would be the healer of all human suffering."

What drew Pier Giorgio to becoming a Third Order Dominican? Certainly the great saints like Thomas Aquinas and Catherine of Siena. But also one who is lesser-known and controversial: Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican friar of fiery zeal who challenged the corrupt Medici rule in Florence and died a martyr’s death. Pier Giorgio admired Savonarola deeply, even taking his name when he entered the order. He saw in him a man who gave everything for Christ.

So many Catholics today have lost their rhythm. We might think we need a dramatic conversion moment or an emotional breakthrough. But regular confession — once a month, or more often if needed — is just part of a healthy Catholic life. That's why Pier Giorgio didn't just go himself; he encouraged others too, even organizing confession for the members of his St. Vincent de Paul group.

Like Blessed Carlo Acutis, Pier Giorgio seemed to know how to pray instinctively. It wasn't something he learned in a class or even deeply from his family. It was a grace. It was friendship. He often carried a little pocket-sized prayer book, a beautiful reminder that our prayer life can be nourished by the smallest tools when we bring them to the Lord with love.

The mountains weren't an escape for Pier Giorgio. They were a sacred space. In a letter to his friend Marco, he once wrote, "With each day that passes, I fall more and more in love with the mountains. If it weren't for my studies, I would spend entire days up in the pure mountain air, contemplating the greatness of the Creator."

Pier Giorgio had a profound devotion to Our Lady. Remarkably, he was born on a Saturday — a day traditionally dedicated to the Virgin Mary — and he died on a Saturday as well, passing from this life under her loving mantle. On his nightstand at the time of his death was a copy of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a prayer he recited faithfully.

If daily Mass isn’t part of your rhythm yet, don’t be discouraged. Start small. Try once a week — maybe Wednesday or Friday. That’s how I started. Over time, the hunger grows. The desire deepens. And like Pier Giorgio, your interior life will take root in the one who comes to us so humbly under the appearance of bread.

Pier Giorgio wasn’t reckless. He wasn’t aggressive. But he was unafraid. Even when offered personal protection or a way out — thanks to his father’s political connections — he refused to abandon his friends or distance himself from their cause. He stood firm. Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake.

For Pier Giorgio, peace wasn’t passive. It was something to cultivate, to extend, to protect. And he knew its source: Christ. The one who stood in the upper room and spoke those first words of resurrection: “Peace be with you.”

Daily Communion wasn’t just a pious habit for Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati — it was his source of strength. He drew everything from it. The fight for purity, the strength to love, the courage to serve — it all flowed from his communion with Jesus. Pier Giorgio shows us that purity of heart isn’t passivity. It’s a fight. And the Eucharist is our daily weapon.
