Chiara Badano was born in 1971 in a small town in Northern Italy. Her parents tried for 11 years to have a child with no luck. Her father prayed at a shrine for Our Lady of the Rocche, and shortly thereafter, Chiara was born.
As a child, she was intelligent and strong-willed. At 9, she discovered the Focolare Movement, which began in Italy during the Second World War and promoted a message of unity to the world.
Chiara joined and introduced others to Jesus through her actions, not her words.
“I don’t have to talk about Jesus, I have to give Him… first of all by being in an attitude of listening, but above all by my way of loving,” she said.
Chiara Lubich, the organization’s founder, gave her the name Chiara Luce (luce means “light” in Italian), saying “It is the light of the ideal that overcomes the world.”
Bl. Chiara Luce Legacy
At 17, Chiara Luce was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bone cancer, after experiencing pain while playing tennis.
Her commitment to Christ, and the incredible faith she displayed in the faith of such hardship, inspired many.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
Sainthood and holiness are not unattainable in youth – quite the opposite! The Church has countless young people who reached sainthood, despite their young age, to prove it. We can ask these young saints to pray for us and be an example for us so we can grow in holiness and one day be in heaven too.
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati
Bl. Pier Giorgio lived in the early 1900s in Italy. He had a genuine love for the poor and took care of them as much as he could. He was adventurous, outdoorsy, and loved God more than anything. He shows us what it looks like to truly live out your faith. Pier Giorgio died from polio at 24 years of age. Pier Giorgio is one step away from officially being declared a saint. He has inspired many young adult groups to grow in Christian community.
You can pray this Novena to Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati for any intention; you could also pray for his canonization!
