Saint Carlo Acutis

Article published by Catholic News Agency.

​On October 12, the Church celebrates the feast of Saint Carlo Acutis, the millennial who used his love for the Eucharist and his talents online to lead others to God.

St. Carlo was known among his friends and family as being incredibly humble and kind. He was approachable and friendly – not proud and distant. He wanted to reach people where they were in their journey of faith. With a deep love for God and for others, Carlo had a desire to evangelize to the world.

Pope St. John Paul II called Christians to a new evangelization. When he was only eleven years old, Carlo answered this call to the new evangelization by designing a website that included 150 Eucharistic miracles. He completed the website the year before he died.

Since that time, his website has been turned into a traveling exhibition that has been to many countries on five continents. Countless people have been strengthened in their faith due to this website and exhibition. Even as a teenager, Carlo was able to reach the world with the message of Jesus.

St. Carlo experienced much suffering at the end of his life. As Carlo was dying of leukemia, a doctor asked him about his pain. He responded, “There are people who suffer much more than me.”

He shows us that holiness is possible for everyone — even in our modern world. Like him, let us aim for sanctity, living each moment for Christ and keeping our eyes fixed on eternity.
