His short life was filled with great devotion to Mary and the Eucharist, which his computer skills enabled him to spread, even during his illness. He made of his suffering an offering and left happy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considered the patron saint of the Internet, Carlo Acutis was a young Catholic who tried to live his whole life in deep communion and friendship with Jesus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very devoted to Our Lady, he was a completely normal boy who liked football, cycling, cartoons and playing PlayStation with his friends. Despite his youth, Carlo was very open to others, especially to the most excluded in society, making no distinction of race or religion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had a special taste for computers and had an above-average knowledge of Computer Science. Uniting his two passions, he created a website dedicated to the careful cataloguing of each Eucharistic miracle, with the purpose of evangelizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early October 2006, at the age of 15, Carlo fell ill. What seemed to be a normal flu was, in fact, fulminant leukaemia and no possibility of recovery. He died 10 days later, offering his suffering for Jesus, the Pope and the Church.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlo\u2019s life reminds us that each one of us is called to be Saint, with our faults and characteristics. Carlo also shows us how we can take the risk of living the faith seriously and how it is a risk worth taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about Carlos Acutis and the miracle that led to his canonization read this ANS article from May 20, 2024:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoans.org\/en\/sections\/news\/item\/21205-vatican-carlo-acutis-and-giuseppe-allamano-to-be-declared-saints\">Carlo Acutis and Giuseppe Allamano to Be Declared Saints<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Carlos Acutis Official Prayer<\/strong> &#8211; From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carloacutis.com\/en\/association\/preghiera-ufficiale\">carlosacutis.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh God, Our Father,<br>thank you for giving us Carlo,&nbsp;<br>a life example for the young<br>and a message of love for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You made him become enamoured with&nbsp;<br>Your Son Jesus, Making of the Eucharist&nbsp;<br>his \u201cHighway to Heaven\u201d.<br>You gave him Mary, as a most loving Mother,&nbsp;<br>and, with the Rosary, you made him&nbsp;<br>a poet of her tenderness.
