Example for the youth, inspiration for all
Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901–1925) is one of the most luminous figures of twentieth-century spirituality. A young man from Turin, an engineering student, a lover of the mountains and friendship, he lived every day with his gaze turned upwards: towards God and towards the least.
Defined by John Paul II as “the man of the eight beatitudes,” Frassati is today blessed and patron of World Youth Days. But his message crosses every generation, speaking to the heart of those who desire to live fully, without reservations, with a simple and radical style at the same time.
His love for social justice, his active participation in public life, his commitment to FUCI and the Conferences of Saint Vincent make him a perfect witness for today's young people, believers and non-believers, who are looking for meaning and authenticity.
Not a hero on a pedestal, but a friend to follow. For this reason, in the context of the Jubilee 2025, the figure of Pier Giorgio is proposed as a concrete reference of “possible” sanctity, embodied in daily life.
Frassati left us a powerful phrase, which became the emblem of his spirit: “Towards the top”.
It is not just a motto to be engraved on the rock, but a direction in life : always go further, walk with faith, aim for the summit.
An invitation that we can carry with us today, even in small daily gestures, such as wearing a symbol, carrying a backpack, writing a thought in a notebook.
You can find them all at the official store Giubileo 2025 at via della Traspontina 17/19 and on Azione Cattolica Shop, a selection of items inspired by his figure and his message. Products designed to accompany you on your spiritual journey, during the Jubilee and beyond.
