May Blessed Carlo Acutis intercede for us! 🙏❤️
Blessed Carlo Acutis will soon be proclaimed the first millennial saint. If you have a special intention in your heart, turn to him by praying the official prayer to ask for his intercession.
Carlo was born on May 3, 1991. He created a website where he showcased Eucharistic miracles from around the world. "The Eucharist is my highway to heaven," he used to say. He passed away from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15.
He was beatified on October 10, 2020, at the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi for the miraculous healing of a child. On May 23, 2024, Pope Francis approved a new miracle attributed to his intercession, by which he will be proclaimed a saint: the healing of a young woman on the brink of death. Pope Francis will soon convene a Consistory for his canonization.
Official Prayer:
Oh God, Our Father, thank you for giving us Carlo, a life example for the young and a message of love for everyone. You made him become enamored with Your Son Jesus, Making of the Eucharist his “Highway to Heaven”. You gave him Mary, as a most loving Mother, and, with the Rosary, you made him a poet of her tenderness. Receive his prayer for us. Above all, gaze upon the poor, whom he loved and helped. [Grant for me too, by his intercession, the grace that I need...] And make our joy fulfilled, placing Carlo among the Saints of your Church, so that his smile may shine again for us in the glory of your name. Amen.
Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

“Saints are ordinary people who do what they do for the love of Jesus, say what they must say without fear, love their neighbor even when they are cursed by him, and live without regret over yesterday or fear of tomorrow.” (Mother Angelica)
Celebrated a low Mass and renewed our vows for the 10 year anniversary of our marriage. Our oldest son was able to altar serve for the Mass. Deo gratias.
On this day in 2019, Michael Los, a Polish seminarian with terminal cancer, was ordained to the priesthood at the hospital where he had been undergoing treatment, with special permission from the Pope. He passed away a few days later. Before his death, Polish President Duda visited Michael at the hospital and received his priestly blessings.
