Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati Holy Card: Eucharistic Meditation

This holy card features a black and white photograph of Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati taken by his mother when he was 16 years old. The back of the card contains a beautiful Eucharistic meditation taken from a speech given to the young people of Pollone by Saint Frassati:

"I urge you with all the strength of my soul to approach the Eucharistic Table as often as possible. Feed on this Bread of the Angels from which you will draw the strength to fight inner struggles, the struggles against passions and against all adversities, because Jesus Christ has promised to those who feed themselves with the most Holy Eucharist, eternal life and the necessary graces to obtain it.

And when you become totally consumed by this Eucharistic Fire, then you will be able to thank with greater awareness the Lord God who has called you to be part of His flock and you will enjoy that peace which those who are happy according to the world have never tasted. Because true happiness, young people, does not consist in the pleasures of the world and in earthly things, but in peace of conscience which we can have only if we are pure in heart and in mind."
