Blessed Carlo Acutis, Pray for us!

MEDITATION:

Carlo was only 15 years old when he died. A computer genius, soccer player, gamer, dog-lover, and all-around normal teenager, Carlo is known for his heroic virtue in the modern world. He's (going to be!) a Saint because of his devotion to Christ and the Poor and his evangelistic work sharing a database of Eucharistic miracles with the world.

Carlo shows us that we can begin to be Saints NOW. No matter how ordinary they may seem, your talents, gifts, and special abilities can be used for good and by God for your sanctification. In Carlo's case, God used his graphic design and programming skills to reach millions with the Truth of the Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Every single aspect of your personality is valuable and intentional. You've been created and designed for a specific mission. Ask the Lord to reveal that mission to you and use you for His purposes. As Christians, specifically Catholics, who have the Lord physically and spiritually living within them, every aspect of our lives must be integrated with our faith. We were not created to be apart from God. Give Him control. Let Him have it all; you, like Carlo, will become a Saint. 😊

QUOTES:

Enjoy these quotes from Blessed Carlo! I encourage you to choose one to pray with and meditate upon.

"Sadness is looking at ourselves, happiness is looking towards God."

"To be always united with Jesus, this is my plan of life."

"By standing before the Eucharistic Christ, we become holy."

"Our soul is like a hot air balloon. If by chance there is a mortal sin, the soul falls to the ground. Confession is like the fire underneath the balloon, enabling the soul to rise again… It is important to go to confession often."

"The Eucharist is the highway to heaven."

"Do not be afraid because with the Incarnation of Jesus, death becomes life, and there’s no need to escape: in eternal life, something extraordinary awaits us."
