Fr Gregory Pine O.P. presents his life as an example of how God can make ordinary things and an ordinary life into a deeply profound and influential one.

i often feel like to be a great saint you need to be a consecrated monk so hearing stories like this are very important and inspiring

@bia.sobia.4479 Жыл бұрын

If you are a monk, it is easier for you to be canonized. But God has many saints living normal lives. See Saint Gianna Beretta Molla or the Blessed Sandra Sabattini, Blessed Carlo Acutis,

I'm an Engineering Student in Turin and I've grown a lot in my devotion to Bl. Piergiorgio recently. Praying for his canonization! Btw, I can't believe Fr. Pine forgot to mention that Bl. Piergiorgio was a Third Order Dominican!

I went to visit blessed Pier Giorgio's house last summer! There is a path from Pollone to Oropa through Poggio Frasatti - a mountaintop where we had holy mass. Wonderful experience, I recommend visiting with a Dominican! :D

I have a great devotion Bl Pier Giorgio since first hearing of him over 10 years ago and pray for his Intercession every day and hope one day soon in my lifetime he will be a Saint. Love how they portray him with a Pipe!!!

Dear Father Gregory, your summary presentation of Blessed Pier-Giorgio Frassati was excellent, but I felt that you were talking at a speed of a hundred miles an hour! Unfortunately, you forgot to mention that he was a Dominican Tertiary (a lay Dominican), a venial sin... ! I am a fan of yours in Vancouver, Canada. Please convey my warmest greetings to my great friend, Fr. Emmanuel Durand who, I believe, is your prior in Fribourg. Father Gabriel OP

He is our fifth son's middle name ( Malachi Frassati) he was the patron of my husband and I traveling youth ministry team...a long time ago 🤣. He's been a wonderful saint for us to inspire to be more like. Thank you for sharing his story 🙏

@o0OAnnamariaO0o Жыл бұрын

I'm a little confused, since 'Frassati' is a family name only in italian. Is it common in the US (are you feom the US?) to use family names as middle names? I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm german speaking, and in the german speaking countries you wouldn't be legally able to give that very name to your child. May God bless your son!

Thanks for this Father. I also wish you would have mentioned he was a Lay Dominican… how that may have formed him, why he chose that ect. I’m a Lay Dominican myself and hike a lot too. Mostly say my morning prayers out there, I subtly understand that maybe he was doing the same. I was recently life professed and when asked at my interview why, I really had no answer. I think it went somewhere along the lines of “I’m here, because I’m here”. It’s so hard to understand the whole Lay thing. And it would be good to learn from them who went before us. There a handful of Third Order Saints out there, at least. But little to nothing is ever mentioned, about how that “Lay” state within the order helped them become whom they were meant to become. I suppose the crumbs underneath the table are enough. Have an awesomely fruitful rest of your week Father!
