Courtney Mares is the author of the definitive biography of Carlo Acutis and has written several articles about Pier Giorgio. Therefore, we are delighted to talk to her today about these modern saints. As a Vatican reporter, Courtney reveals many details about Carlo and Pier Giorgio that are not as well known. These details reveal that both men fully integrated their faith into their daily lives and that true sanctity is possible for all people!
