“If my studies permitted, I’d spend whole days in the mountains contemplating the Creator’s greatness in that pure air.” – Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati 🗻 🇨🇭🇫🇷🇮🇹 Switzerland, France, and Italy in the footsteps of St. Bernard, St. John Paul II, and St. Gianna Beretta Molla, in the spirit of my favorite (about to be) Saint, Pier Giorgio Frassati. This was a special trip, full of many graces. Mass daily—multiple times in the mountains. The pilgrim spirit of backpacking and the fraternity of new friends who love Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. And a visit to Notre Dame de Guérison, Our Lady of Healing, a place special to St. Gianna Molla, and now to me. From St. Gianna: “May the dear little Madonna of ‘Notre Dame de la Guérison' hear our prayers!” Grateful to have gone with some wonderful Houston friends and meet others from across the country with a deep love for their faith.
