Pope: Saints call us to look to God, make masterpieces of our lives
Presiding over the Mass and canonization of Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis in Saint Peter’s Square, Pope Leo XIV paid tribute to their extraordinary witnesses to faith, hope, and trust in God, and to the Lord’s great plan for eternal joy and happiness. The Pope declared the two young Italians Saints at the start of the celebration on a stunningly beautiful late summer day, Sunday 7 September.
In his homily, the Pope reflected on the extraordinary witness of both new Saints. Recalling words from the first Sunday reading from the Book of Wisdom, the Pope observed that, like King Solomon, these young men sought the gift of wisdom to better understand God’s plans for our lives and world, and follow them faithfully. And in doing so, they used their gifts to bring others to God through their example, words, and actions. (Source: Vatican News)
Carlo Acutis, witness of holiness in simplicity
May 3, 1991 – October 12, 2006
Born 5 Earth/CABAN: A Clarion Call to be and to live with all your heart.
Acutis is referred to as the “Patron Saint of the Internet”, “God’s Influencer” and the “first millennial saint”.
Speaking about the witness of young Italian Saint Carlo Acutis, a teenager of our own day, the Pope spoke about how he encountered Jesus in his family, thanks to his parents, Andrea and Antonia, recalling their presence at this celebration along with his two siblings, Francesca and Michele. Saint Carlo also found and lived his faith through school, but especially the sacraments celebrated in the parish community, the Pope went on to say, noting how “he grew up naturally integrating prayer, sport, study and charity into his days as a child and young man.”
Carlos dedicated his skills on the Internet to research Miracles attributed to the Eucharist:
“The Eucharist is the highway to heaven.”
“To always be close to Jesus, that’s my life plan.”
“Perhaps people really haven’t yet understood! Jesus is present among us in his very Body just as he was during his mortal life among his friends. If we reflected on this seriously, we would never leave him alone in the tabernacles waiting for us with love, wanting to help us and to support us on our earthly journey.”
“The more Eucharist we receive, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this earth we will have a foretaste of heaven.”

Pier Giorgo Frassati, beacon for lay spirituality
Apr 6, 1901 – July 4, 1925
Born 9 Flint/ETZNAB: A Mission to Stand on the Truth from Above
Frassati is the patron saint of World Youth Day and for youth and young adults, recognized as a model of Christian living and a “man of the beatitudes”. He is also a patron for students, mountain climbers, and skiers.
Describing the life of Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati, a young Italian man of the early 20th century, his participation in Catholic associations and service to the poor, the Pope said that also today “Pier Giorgio’s life is a beacon for lay spirituality,” since faith was not a private matter and could be lived in community in with membership in ecclesial associations and through generous commitment to political life and service to the poor.
“To live without faith, without a heritage to defend, without battling constantly for truth, is not to live but to ‘get along’; we must never just ‘get along'”.
“The purpose for which we have been created shows us the path; even if strewn with many thorns, it is not a sad path. It is joyful even in the face of sorrow”.
“The faith given to me in baptism suggests to me surely: by yourself you will do nothing, but if you have God as the center of all your action, then you will reach the goal.”
“The times we are going through are difficult because cruel persecution of the Church is raging. But you bold and good young people should not be afraid of this small thing; remember that the Church is a divine institution and cannot come to an end. She will last till the end of the world. Not even the gates of hell can prevail against her.”
“When God is with us, we don’t have to be afraid of anything.”
“I think peace will be a long time coming. But our faith teaches us that we must always keep on hoping we shall enjoy it one day.”
“We must sacrifice everything for everything: our ambitions, indeed our entire selves, for the cause of the Faith.”

Making “masterpieces” of our lives
In conclusion, Pope Leo underscored how both Saints Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis invite everyone, “especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces.”

In this Time we are called to follow the ways of the Apostles and to dedicate a New Life to the Highest Purpose of God’s Will. Carlos Acutis and Pier Giorgio “ordinary” people of our Time who manifested Miracles of Faith – when they applied what they Loved to do to God’s highest purpose.
God’s plan is always a Dream Come True for those who acknowledge the Source and Light of Creation. In the core days of the Tzolk’in we’re called to Dream of everything our Life could be, with God at the Center of every choice we make.
We are empowered to stand in Divine Trinity with a Divine Plan:

Galactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.
Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void… a place where nothing yet exists but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. Night’s voyages of dreams build confidence and happiness with a sense of well being. If night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend some time contemplating the stars.
Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA: Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion. The M42 nebula (home of the Central race from the WingMakers) in the center of the triangle of Orion is the fire in the Hearth, also matching the Mayan. The Hearth is the Torchbearer who holds the light and warmth throughout the night.
