Summary/Abstract: The author shows how the life of the blessed P.G. Frassati reveals the gift and mystery of the Eucharist. It was the grace of the Eucharist that gave him the motivation to act. This Italian student and lover of mountain expeditions was totally devoted to the disadvantaged and the sick; he was an apostle of divine mercy. Eucharistic devotion becomes the source of logiké latria. “Every day Jesus comes to me in Holy Communion and I must repay Him in whatever way I can by visiting His poor”. Despite the difficult tasks and problems that life involves, Pier Giorgio proved that it is possible to love it, keeping always in mind the long-term aim of drawing closer to God.
