St. Pier Giorgio Frassati as an Inspiration of Vincentian Values for Young People
Abstract
The life of Pier Giorgio Frassati offers an inspiring example for young people in living out Vincentian values amid modern social challenges. Rapid technological development, individualism, and declining social awareness often distance young people from the realities of poverty and suffering around them. Pier Giorgio Frassati demonstrated that holiness can be lived through a joyful youth life rooted in faith, solidarity, and service to others. His spirituality reflects important Vincentian values such as compassion, simplicity, social concern, and dedication to the poor. Using a descriptive-reflective approach, this study highlights the relevance of Frassati’s life for today’s young generation. Young people are called not only to develop their talents and personal achievements, but also to become disciples of Christ who care for society. Through Frassati’s example, Vincentian values remain relevant in encouraging young people to build lives centered on faith, love, and concrete service toward others.
