I discovered Bl. Pier Giorgio about 4 years ago while preparing for our monthly meeting as the leader of a middle school youth group.
I quickly read everything there was to read about him. I'm so inspired by his selflessness and devotion. I mention him and his deeds as often as possible to anyone that will listen.
I am the mother of 3 boys. Boys are tough to keep faithful. The fact that Bl. Pier Giorgio was a young and athletic man, popular with peers and ladies really touches something in young men. Pier Giorgio makes it seem more achievable to be a Saint to these boys because they are able to see a part of themselves in him! A regular boy/man can be a Saint.
What better way to show the generation of young men how to live!
