Canonization of Carlo Acutis

Carlo Acutis: A Model of Holiness for the Young

Prayer for the Canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis

Oh God our Father, thank you for giving us Carlo, a life example for the young. We ask for his intercession in our lives, that we may follow his example of holiness and love for all. Amen.

Carlo Acutis: A Message of Love for All

The beatification of Carlo Acutis took place on October 10, 2020, after a miracle attributed to his prayers and the grace of God. Acutis was a young Italian Catholic who died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15. He was known for his love of God, his devotion to the Eucharist, and his commitment to helping the poor and needy.

Acutis's life is a reminder that holiness is possible at any age. He shows us that we can all make a difference in the world, no matter how young or how small we may be. His example is a challenge to us all to live our lives with purpose and passion, and to make a difference in the world around us.
