Bl. Carlo Acutis: The Example Young People Need


“All people are born as originals, but most die as photocopies.”

with Jesus.” Bl. Carlo’s love for the Eucharistic Lord so impressed his parents that they eventually returned to their practice of faith as a result of his example. In our day, when Mass attendance is diminishing at a rapid pace and many young people are heartbroken to see family and friends falling away from the Church, Bl. Carlo inspires a whole generation of young people to pray and work to bring their loved ones back to Sunday worship.

Bl. Carlo lived a short life – he never went to college, he did get to choose a vocation, he did not travel the world or make a large social contribution. Yet simply by living out his baptismal call to holiness, he was able to love God well and respond to the grace of the Holy Spirit in his life. He is an inspiration for those living an ordinary life – that even the everyday concerns of school assignments, friendships, and website development can become a means to Heaven, if we seek God’s presence in the midst of them all.

Bl. Carlo reminds us that no matter your age, it’s important to speak to your friends and family about God, attend Sunday Mass weekly, and always pray for God’s guidance. He shows us that even the internet can be used to preach the Gospel with energy and devotion. Following the lead of this young man from Italy, let us aim to keep God at the center of our lives, and to bring our family and friends to Heaven with us as we journey towards our “one true home.”

Blessed Carlo Acutis, pray for us!

PRAYER

O God our Father,
we thank You for giving us Carlo,
a model of life for young people,
and a message of love for all.
You made him fall in love with
Your Son Jesus,
making the Eucharist his
"highway to heaven".
You gave him Mary
as a beloved mother,
and You made him,
through the Rosary,
a cantor of her tenderness.
Receive his prayer for us.
Look, above all, upon the poor,
whom he loved and assisted.
Grant me too,
through his intercession,
the grace that I need.
(mention your intention).
And make our joy full, raising Carlo
among the Saints of Your Church,
so that his smile shines again for us
to the glory of Your name.
Amen.
