The Angelus

If there was ever an age when young men and women needed authentic heroes, it is our age. The Church understands that the saints and blesseds, their prayers, their lives, are for people on earth, that sainthood, as an earthly honor, is not coveted by the saints or blesseds themselves.

What was so unique and special about Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati?

I AM a bus driver with the State Transit Authority of NSW and want to commend all the pilgrims who are in our state for World Youth Day celebrations.

On Friday night I, together with other drivers, were called to attend Moore Park to assist in the conveyance of pilgrims back to Central railway station. Upon completing this task, we were directed by Radio Control to return back to our respective bus depots.

But near Central, I observed a large number of pilgrims -- nuns - literally shivering in the cold waiting for their designated bus. 

 
I motioned for the sisters to jump on as I was willing to take them - much to their relief.

They all thought they had won the lottery and jumped up and down with delight when I told them that I would take them home.

During my travel along Elizabeth St in Surry Hills, I picked up more pilgrims waiting for buses. Then all along Cleveland St I stopped and picked up more pilgrims.
