I am natively from Colombia, and by the end of my college years got a scholarship to do a masters in the Polythecnic of Turin, Italy. Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati has been part of my life since 2015 when I travel back to Turin, to graduate from my masters . Since I met him, I have been impacted Of how extraordinary his ordinary life was. Frassati is the perfect example of a radical-in love with God and our Lady, lay person. Every part of his testimony speaks directly to my heart, especially how his family didn't support his fire for the Lord and he still followed Him without disrespecting his parents or sister. He is the perfect example of how to share Christ with everyone in every situation without being weird or extreme. He has also helped me a lot through healing and growing closer in love for the Lord.
