In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, and Fr. Michael Niemczak discusses Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati. They emphasize how Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati lived a seemingly ordinary life, but did everything God put in his life and made it holy. Frassati had great devotion to the Holy Eucharist and cared for the poor. His family had wealth and unbeknownst to them, he gave away his shoes, coats, and money to the poor in the community. At the time of his death, the people he helped emerged and Frassati’s impact became known.

Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob discussed the devotion of the Brown Scapular. Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock and gave him the brown scapular. She promised that no one who wore it would suffer eternal fire. Fr. Rob discusses how one can live a life similar to a Carmelite and wear the brown scapular. As a child, Fr. Rob didn’t understand the devotion to the Carmelites. Carmelites practice fasts and penances.

Fr. Rob encourages the laity who wear the brown scapular to adapt some of the Carmelite devotions to their lives. One could read scripture and meditate, fast from quality of food or technology time. With these practice and wearing the brown scapular, one unites their work and prayer with the sanctifying graces God offers. Carmelites engage in grueling fasts. But lay people have different circumstances that make such fasts difficult. Use discernment and prudence to create devotional practices.
