Now, let us begin our DAY 1 prayers:

Opening Prayer

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I thank you for all the grace and favours with which you enriched the soul of Blessed Carlo Acutis during his 15 years on this earth. Through the merits of this Angel of Youth, grant me the grace which I earnestly seek (ask the grace which you seek).

Day 1 Meditations: “Not me, but God”

Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who made your life a continual renunciation and setting aside of unimportant things, give me the grace to seek heavenly things and despise that which is transient. Amen.

Pray five “Our Fathers”, five “Hail Marys”, and five “Glory Be to the Fathers” to give thanks to God for the grace granted Carlo during his life.

Today we want to share a website created by Blessed Carlo Acutis that catalogs 163 true stories of Eucharistic Miracles 

It was one of Blessed Carlo’s greatest hopes that people would fall more in love with Jesus’ True Presence in the Eucharist. In order to “inspire more excitement about the Eucharist, Carlo began to investigate Eucharistic miracles, starting with what happened in Lanciano, Italy, in the eighth century” (quote from the new Holy Heroes book about Blessed Carlo).

Blessed Carlo hoped that by spreading awareness about the many documented Eucharist miracles, people would be inspired to once again return to Mass and Eucharistic Adoration. This labor of love resulted in a website that is still available around the world to anyone who wants to learn more about Eucharistic Miracles! Continue reading HERE.
