I learned a little prayer many years ago that has become more important as time goes by. It comes from the night prayer of the Church: “Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.” These words from Psalm 31 are meant to be a prayer for restful sleep or a prayer during uncertain times of distress. These are also the last words of Jesus as he died on the cross, and they are repeated at Catholic funerals as a prayer commending a loved one into God’s hands.

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati died almost 100 years ago, but he would have fit in perfectly with many Catholics' groups of friends. He was born in Turin, Italy, in 1901, among the political upheavals, war and social strife of the opening years of the 20th century. Against this challenging backdrop, Pier Giorgio exemplified a life of devout faith, strong friendships, social activism and rugged adventure.
