I got to know about him through a friend and I was instantly attracted to his life story. His life is so relate able, probably because I share much in common with him, he loves coffee and the mountains too. Reading little snippets from saints' lives I always felt sainthood was more for older, matured people. His story changed my view of sainthood. His smile may have been really infectious then. His canonization will inspire thousands of youth to live a holy life and to realize that you can be holy and cool at the same time :)
