With Frassati's famous motto Verso l'alto (To the Heights), this book challenges you to rise to the occasion and live your Catholic faith with courageous action. Whether you're seeking holiness, joy, or a deeper purpose in your life, Pier Giorgio is inviting you to follow him.
Are you ready to take your Catholic faith to new heights? The Frassati Field Guide invites you to walk in the footsteps of one of the Catholic Church's newest saints, Pier Giorgio Frassati--a fearless adventurer, passionate mountain climber, joyful servant to the poor, and bold witness to Christ. Throughout his life, Pier Giorgio proved that living the faith is not just about words but about daring action and joyful sacrifice.
In this inspiring guide, Bobby Angel--mountain guide and retreat leader--leads you through an eight-day journey that challenges you to live with the same boldness, purpose, and vitality that Pier Giorgio did. Each day is centered on a powerful virtue that shaped his remarkable life, including:
- Words of Wisdom from Frassati himself, inspiring you to live fully;
- Practical Insights showing how he turned his Catholic beliefs into action in every moment;
- Journaling Prompts that help you apply Frassati's witness to your own life;
- Challenges that push you to step outside your comfort zone and take bold action;
- Daily Prayers to unite your efforts with God's will for your life.
The Frassati Field Guide is more than just a book--it's a call to adventure! Discover Pier Giorgio's passions, from hiking the mountains to praying before the Blessed Sacrament to serving his friends and the poor. He lived each day infused with faith, joy, and love, and this guide will help you do the same, one step at a time.
Will you answer the call? Step out, live boldly, and let your Catholic faith soar!
