Opening Prayer

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I thank you for all the grace and favors 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 5 Meditations: “Sadness is looking at ourselves, happiness is looking towards God”

Blessed Carlo Acutis, You who have never looked away from your great love, Jesus, give me the grace also to live with this happiness in this world. 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.

If your child has ever wondered, “how does someone become a Saint?” then this is the book for them!

You’ll follow along, step-by-step, the methodical process the Catholic Church follows to determine who is in Heaven, and the miracles which revealed that Carlo was already there. 

Extensively researched and incorporating details from official Church documents and personal interviews with Blessed Carlo’s mother, you’ll learn:

• What miracles astounded him so much that he created a website to share them with the world?
• What simple habits did he incorporate into his life, plus the weaknesses he struggled with?
• What did he call his “kit” for becoming a saint, which fits the lives of modern children and teens?
• What was the miracle–7 years to the day of his death–which led to the beatification?
• What still remains before the Church can recognize him as “Saint Carlo Acutis”?
