Pope Leo XIV canonizes Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis

At the first canonization Mass of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV proclaimed Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati saints, praising their devotion to the Eucharist, prayer and serving the poor.
The pope urged the faithful, especially young people, to follow their examples and live the great "adventure" of following God's plan.

"Sts. Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upward and make them masterpieces," the pope said Sept. 7.

"The simple but winning formula of their holiness," he said, is accessible to everyone at any time. "They encourage us with their words: 'Not I, but God,' as Carlo used to say. And Pier Giorgio: 'If you have God at the center of all your actions, then you will reach the end.'"
