Carlo Acutis
1991-2006 20th century Feast day: October 12
Living as an original, not a copy; making the ordinary a path to God.
Who was Carlo Acutis?
An Italian teenager of our own day, passionate about computing, he put his talents at the service of faith by building a website on Eucharistic miracles. Joyful, close to his friends and to the poorest, he died of a sudden leukaemia at fifteen, offering his sufferings. He is the first saint of his generation.
In their own words
The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven.
We are all born as originals, but many die as photocopies.
