Welcome to Saints Alive, where we take you with us to meet God's most heroic

followers. The Saints were just ordinary boys and girls who allowed God's love

to transform them into real life

superheroes. Their love for God changed our world. Did you know that God has sent

you here to become a saint? It's up to you to choose love over fear, to be courageous,

faithful, and kind. The choice to become a saint won't be easy, but it will be worth

it. So listen closely and open your hearts. These real life tales of the

Saints from the past may just inspire you how to live your story. Let's go on this

adventure together. In order to become a canonized saint in the Catholic Church, there are important steps that the church follows and different titles for each stage on your way to

Sainthood.

First, someone becomes a servant of God,

then venerable, blessed, and finally saint.

Today we will hear our first episode about the life of someone still on their way

to Sainthood. And as it so happens, this Blessed will become a saint next summer.

His seemingly simple story of holy friendship, generosity,

and zeal for Christ has spread throughout the world,

and he is known and loved by many of you, our listeners.

Today we tell the incredible story of Blessed Pier, Georgeo Frisade. Mama. Mama?

Mama!

Yes, I'm in need!

I'm in need!

Is that the last of the luggage?
