Saints Charles, Francis & Claire, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, and more
Every day brings me in contact with more saints. In Turin I venerated Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, St. John Bosco and St. Dominic Savio, and the Shroud of Turin. In Milan I was able to celebrate Mass near the tomb of St. Charles Borromeo and venerated St. Ambrose. Visited the baptistery where St. Ambrose baptized St. Augustine. Also saw da Vinci's Last Supper. Am now in Assis - had Mass at the shrines of St. Claire and St. Francis. Today on to Orvieto to venerate the Eucharistic Miracle there. Then on to Roma. One thing that strikes me is how relevant the saints are for today - whether they lived in the 20th century or the 13th, they have so much to teach us today. I ran into three parishioners from St. John's here in Assisi - on pilgrimage with Matthew Kelly and Dynamic Catholic.

The pictures you took at Assisi look VERY familiar. How joyful it must have been to meet three people from St. John's! How blessed you are to have these opportunities to visit so many holy places.
