From inside the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, a true "powerhouse of prayer," Fr. Patrick Briscoe, O.P. shares aspects of the rich history and charism of the Dominican Order and how it shaped the life of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati is a massive inspiration to young people around the world. Those attending the Jubilee of Youth in Rome had the opportunity the venerate the relics of the soon-to-be saint, while they were temporarily held in the Basilica.

May the life of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, characterized by his courageous and joyful commitment to living out the Gospel and his deep devotion to the Blessed Mother, serve as an inspiration for us to embrace our faith wholeheartedly and strive for the heights of holiness.

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!
