Two New Saints for the Church

from Behold I stand at the door and knock... · host Fr Paul Chandler

Today in Rome, Pope Leo XIV will declare that the Church has two new saints - St Pier Giorgio and St Carlo Acutis. It's been a long wait for those who love Pier Giorgio - 100 years!! Somewhat less for Carlo - 19 years. But, these two young men have much in common, more than just being young and Italian.Both these two young saints show us holiness to an extraordinary degree but, because of who they were and the lives they led, they inspire us to greatness. St Pier Giorgio's favourite saying "Verso L'Alto", which is English means "To the Heights" is what both of them want to do for us, namely, to lead us to the heights of heaven.St Pier Giorgio and St Carlo, pray for us.
