Saint Carlo Acutis, a young witness to the faith and apostle of the Eucharist, lived a simple and luminous life, entirely turned towards God. In a world dominated by screens and distraction, he knew how to turn digital technology into a tool for evangelisation and peace. Through his purity, his joy and his fidelity to the love of Christ, he inspires young people and hearts in search of authenticity.
Oh Saint Carlo Acutis, you who grew up in the joy of faith and put Jesus at the centre of your life, I come to entrust you with my heart and my intentions. You who said that "the Eucharist is the highway to Heaven", teach me to love deeply the real presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, to desire to commune with Him every day, and to live in the light of His grace.
Saint Carlo, a teenager full of life and tenderness, you who knew how to unite modernity with holiness, help me to make my talents and passions instruments of love. Intercede so that I may know how to use the means of today's world to make Christ known and spread good around me.
O Carlo, faithful friend of Jesus, you who have come through illness with courage and peace, be with those who suffer. Support young people who doubt, enlighten those who feel alone, and inspire everyone with a heart that is pure, free and turned towards Heaven.
Saint Carlo, model of simplicity and joy, teach me to live each day as a step towards God. Help me to keep the faith in moments of doubt, to forgive when I have been hurt, and to remain faithful to the truth of the Gospel.
You who are now spending your life in Heaven interceding for us, obtain for me the grace I am entrusting to you today (formulate your intention here). May I, following your example, never lose sight of the ultimate goal of my life: the eternal encounter with God.
Saint Carlo Acutis, child of Heaven and witness to God's love, pray for us.
Make us peacemakers, messengers of faith and lovers of the Eucharist.
May your joy of believing and your smile of hope accompany us to the eternal Kingdom.
Amen.
