John Paul II called Bl. Pier Giorgio “the man of the eight beatitudes,”
and his friends described him as an “explosion of joy.” He ascended the
mountain of personal holiness with zealous tenacity, the same way he
scaled his beloved Italian Alps. In this mini-series shown on EWTN, Bl.
Pier Giorgio’s niece, Wanda Gawronska, and Christine Wohar, executive
director of FrassatiUSA, unpack the life and spirituality of this avid
mountain climber and zealous young apostle of the poor. |

Letters to His Friends and Family |
|
By Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati |
|
These letters detail “days that revolved around a routine of home, school
and friends; weekends spent skiing in the mountains or swimming at the
beach...even greetings to family pets” (translator’s notes). They reveal
Pier Giorgio’s irrepressible humor and his pranks, his travels and his
hobbies, but also his personal mission to the poor and sick, his fervent
love of country and his intolerance for evil and injustice. A
behind-the-scenes look at the extraordinary soul of a seemingly ordinary
young man. |

A Man of the Beatitudes |
|
By Luciana Frassati, sister of the Blessed |
|
An eyewitness account of the life of Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925), a
handsome, athletic and fun-loving young man from a prominent but troubled
Italian family, who was beatified by Pope John Paul II. From a privileged
background, he turned to a life devoted to working with the poor, and was
a courageous witness of Christian faith and charity to many others. Deeply
spiritual, Pier Giorgio sometimes spent entire nights in Eucharistic
adoration before going mountain climbing early the next morning! He died
of polio at the early age of 24. Fascinating reading. Contains photos. |

My Brother Pier Giorgio: His Last Days |
|
By Luciana Frassati, sister of the Blessed |
|
From the heart of his sister, Luciana, we receive this gripping first-hand
testimony of Pier Giorgio’s last week on earth. In his final days, his
Christian character was revealed in an extraordinary way—his devotion to
friends and family, his longing to marry the girl he loved, his concern
for the poor, and above all his acceptance of God’s will. In the end, his
family was astonished by the huge multitude that formed his funeral
procession—finally realizing that Pier Giorgio was destined to belong to
the whole world. Recounted with incredible detail and love. No one will
come away from reading this book unchanged. Photos. |

Lively true story of the young boy whose troubled family situation did not
