Carlo Acutis was an Italian teenager who lived a life of remarkable holiness and devotion to the Catholic faith. Born on May 3, 1991, in London to Italian parents, Carlo showed an early interest in computers and technology. He was also deeply committed to his faith and was known for attending daily Mass and spending hours in prayer.
Carlo's life was tragically cut short when he died of leukemia at the age of 15 on October 12, 2006. But in his short life, he had already made a profound impact on those around him, and his legacy has continued to inspire countless people around the world.
Carlo's devotion to the Eucharist was especially noteworthy. He created a website called "The Eucharistic Miracles of the World" to document and share information about miracles related to the Eucharist which can be found here: www.miracolieucaristici.org
He also made it his mission to attend Mass every day, and he would often spend hours in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. In addition to his love for the Eucharist, Carlo was also deeply committed to the Virgin Mary. He would often pray the rosary and would make pilgrimages to Marian shrines. He also had a special devotion to the Miraculous Medal, which he would wear around his neck.
His body has been found to be incorruptible, meaning that it has not decayed since his death. This is considered a sign of holiness and has been observed in other saints throughout history.
In recognition of his life and legacy, Carlo was beatified on October 10, 2020, by Pope Francis. Carlo Acutis may have lived a short life, but his devotion to the faith and his love for the Eucharist and the Virgin Mary continue to inspire people around the world. His story serves as a reminder of the power of faith and the impact that even one person can have on the world.
Carlo Acutis' legacy continues to inspire and guide us in our mission to share stories of the Catholic Faith. His remarkable life and devotion to the Eucharist have played a significant role in the creation of this blog and website, and we are proud to honor his memory through our work. We pray that our content can serve as a fitting tribute to this remarkable young man who touched so many lives with his faith and kindness.
