I came to know him ever since when I was in High School when the Vice Postulator for his cause gave me a relic of Bl. Pier Giorgio contained in a card. Ever since then I cherish that holy card and considered him as one of those person I look up to. He inspired me to Love Jesus in the Mass and also serve the church as a choir member. Last month, my friends and I went on a hike towards Mayon Volcano, one of the active volcanoes here in the PH. I remembered him and realized that it was the First Day of the Novena before his Feast day. On the day of His feastday, while I'm praying the Lauds, I noticed that the 1st antiphon for that day somehow referred to Him. Right now, even though I'm working, I still devote my free time serving the Church and I was recently designated as Assistant Youth Leader in our parish, serving my fellow youth and letting them know the life of Bl. Pier Giorgio, inspiring them to serve the church. I'm also discerning my vocation right now, thanks to Bl. Pier Giorgio. I hope that He will be canonized next year.
