Pier Giorgio Frassati: Letters to His Friends and Family

For Catholics who associate sainthood with miracles and spiritual phenomena, the story of a young man who lived an ordinary life seems rather... well, ordinary. And at first glance that is what it was: days that revolved around a routine of home, school and friends; weekends spent skiing in the mountains or swimming at the beach. But his letter reveal greater depth with their frequent references to St. Paul, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, peace, prayer, friendship, charity, family life, life with God, etc.
