Although it was out of the ordinary for the priest, he said that Pier Giorgio walked off satisfied and happy and had no concern at all for what anyone might have thought who saw him going to Confession on the street.“No, that’s not necessary,” he replied calmly. “I’ll confess here on the street.” He removed his hat, made a large Sign of the Cross as he stood next to me and made his confession. Nothing like that has ever happened to me again, and I confess that at first I had many distractions hearing Pier Giorgio’s confession!
In the autobiographies of many saints, we read about how their frequency of going to Confession increased as they were drawn deeper and deeper into union with Christ. And yet many people are so reluctant to take advantage of this limitless treasury of grace. If you are one of those people, ask Blessed Frassati to help you grow in fervor for this Sacrament not only during this Lenten season but for the rest of your life. The spiritual lives of his friends was always a priority for him and he will not let you down."He wanted to approach God more frequently, to purify his soul, and he sought help from his confessor’s advice so that he could live the Christian life more deeply. Possessing the Lord’s peace, it was easier for him to suffer, to make sacrifices, to deal with the daily silence in our house and the harsh tests of charity outside the home." - Luciana Frassati
