S4:3 EP45: Bl. Pier Giorgio: Friendship, Patriotism, and Adventure

Today on the podcast, the incredible life of soon-to-be saint Bl. Pier Giorgio, the man St. Pope John Paul II called 'the man of the Eight Beatitudes' and his friends called 'an explosion of Joy.' Who was this mountain-climbing, prank-playing, compassionate young man, and what can he teach us about the value of friendship and adventure? We'll also touch on being patriotic even amidst trying times, and we'll all get weepy hearing Captain Von Trapp choke up during Edelweiss.
