Matteo Farina

His dream was to enter into the hearts of many young people like a virus and make them “infected” with the great “disease” of love. He did everything he could to win them over by speaking to them about the love of God.

He loved music deeply, and he dedicated his playing of musical instruments to the glory of God, even forming a band for that purpose. When, at the age of thirteen, he realized that cancer was consuming his body, he said: “This is an opportunity given to me to proclaim loudly what I will do for my Savior.”

Joy is the fruit of faith. He told his friends that we are not called to live in sadness, but to lead a joyful life. When he left this world at the age of nineteen, he was confident that the gates of heaven were open for him.

By using his life, talents, and time with the sole aim of serving God, he won the hearts of many young people—and thus his life gained heaven.

Am I still willing to offer my talents, my time, and my life for the Lord?
