YouTube clip on Carlos Acutis ( 7mins 3 secs) Beatification Highlights ( 2mins) Background and Discussion Questions: Blessed Carlos Acutis (1991–2006) image courtesy Wikimedia Commons. Saints stare at computer screens, too! Blessed Carlo Acutis (1991–2006) loved Super Mario, PlayStation, and Pokémon but he loved Jesus more. “He had his gaze turned to Jesus,’’ Cardinal Agostino Vallini said at Carlo’s beatification on October 10. “Love for the Eucharist was the foundation that kept alive his relationship with God. He often said, ‘The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven.’ He was an ordinary boy, simple, spontaneous, likable.’’ The first Millennial to be beatified by the Catholic Church died of leukaemia at age 15. He was just a simple, sweet boy from an ordinary family. But his sincere love for others changed hearts, inspiring prayers, and miracles: Like many Millennials, he saw peers battered by divorce, inviting young friends whose parents were divorcing to spend time at his home. He also fought for disabled children mocked by bullies. A “computer geek,’’ his passion for the Eucharist inspired him to build a website cataloguing Eucharistic Miracles. It’s since been translated into many languages l His mother, like many Catholics, missed regular Mass for years. But once her son received his first communion at age 7, he never wanted to miss daily Mass again, convinced the Eucharist was everything.

  • Carlo Acutis Will Be Beatified: the Church of Child Saints Is Here
    VATICAN Carlo Acutis will be beatified: The Church of child Saints is here ECCLESIA 25-02-2020 Costanza Signorelli “There will be saints and apostles among children!” said Saint John Paul II in 1994 during a catechesis on the apostolate of the laity. He recalled the extraordinary importance of the prayer of children for the Holy Father, for the Church, and for the salvation of the entire world. The news of the upcoming beatification of Carlo Acutis, the 15-year old who gave his life for Jesus in the Eucharistic, means we can say with certainty that the prophecy of the great pope, himself now a saint, has begun to be fulfilled. And the heart of the Church is celebrating, not only because of beloved Carlo, but because it understands that he is “only the first” of a group of holy children who are at work to make faith and hope reflourish in the Church of the present and the future. The Decree of the Pope and the Joy of the Church On February 21, 2020, Pope Francis received Cardinal Angelo Becciu, Prefect of the Congregation of the Causes of the Saints. During the audience, the Supreme Pontiff authorised the same Congregation to promulgate the decree regarding “the miracle, attributed to the intercession of the Venerable Servant of God Carlo Acutis, layman; born on May 3, 1991 in London (England) and died October 12, 2006 in Monza (Italy).” The Mass of Beatification for Carlo will be celebrated in the spring. “A great joy for this particular Church that saw him walk in the footsteps of Saint Francis towards holiness.

  • Parish Resources
    Parish Resources Diocesan Plan Parish Guide Witness Guide Sheet Resources on the Eucharist Calendar INTRODUCTION TO YEAR OF THE EUCHARIST DIOCESAN AND PARISH PLANS Fewer than one-third of Catholics believe the Eucharist is the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, the Pew Research Center found in a recent poll. With this loss of understanding and authentic experience, the need for a year on the Eucharist was clearly evident. The following excerpt from St. John Paul’s encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia clarifies why our belief in the Real Presence is essential. “The Church draws her life from the Eucharist. This truth does not simply express a daily experience of faith, but recapitulates the heart of the mystery of the Church. In a variety of ways she joyfully experiences the constant fulfillment of the promise: “Lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age” (Mt 28:20), but in the Holy Eucharist, through the changing of bread and wine into the body and blood of the Lord, she rejoices in this presence with unique intensity. Ever since Pentecost, when the Church, the People of the New Covenant, began her pilgrim journey towards her heavenly homeland, the Divine Sacrament has continued to mark the passing of her days, filling them with confident hope. The Second Vatican Council rightly proclaimed that the Eucharistic sacrifice is “the source and summit of the Christian life”. “For the most holy Eucharist contains the Church's entire spiritual wealth: Christ himself, our passover and living bread. Through his own flesh, now made living and life-giving by the Holy Spirit, he offers life to men”.

  • Venerable Carlo Acutis
    Venerable Carlo Acutis called to eternity at age 15– in 2006- To be Beatified October 10, 2020 in Assisi, Italy omeone we should S know~ In October this 15 year old will be beatified in Assisi, Italy. Venerable Carlo Acutis….“to always be close to Jesus that is my life plan.” Carlos was born in London but grew up in Milan, Italy. From a very early age he had a great devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and tried to attend Mass every day. At first his parents were surprised by such devotion but eventually began attending Mass with their young child. He referred to the Eucharist as ‘his highway to heaven.’ Before or after Mass he would spend time before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer. He also had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother often praying the Rosary. Carlo is recognized for building a website that documents and catalogs Eucharistic miracles from around the world. He was a selftaught programmer using an old family computer. He began cataloging miracles of the Eucharist at 11 years old. He started his website in 2005 after he learned that he had leukemia. He said, “I offer all the suffering I will have to suffer for the Lord, for the Pope, and the Church.” He died October 12, 2012. Carlo was an ordinary, fun loving but caring young boy who had an extraordinary devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. So devoted was he that it was his aim and wish to share that devotion with the world. This he did through the internet and his website.

  • Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles 26-27 June 2021 on October 10
    Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles 26-27 June 2021 On October 10 last year (2020), a 15-year old young man called Carlo Acutis was beatified in Assisi. He was born in London in 1991 and died in Milan in 2006 from fulminant leukemia which killed him in a week. He insisted on receiving his first communion (with special permission) at the age of 7, after which he went to Mass and received communion daily for the rest of his life. He was friendly and cheerful, generous and fun. Blessed Carlo was also a computer genius, and when at the age of 11 he discovered the eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, it set him on a search of all the eucharistic miracles of the world (more than 120!), which he entered and presented on a well-researched website which he designed. He finished this work a few months before his death. This exhibition is now available throughout the world, and St Joseph’s will be presenting a selection of it on the weekend of June 26th and 27th. Blessed Carlo’s mother gave birth to twins 4 years after his death, in 2010. She and her husband later hired an Englishwoman, Anna Johnstone, to be their governess for a period of 3 years. This lady, now a friend of the Acutis family, who also was invited by them to attend the beatification ceremony, will be in Malvern on the same weekend and speaking after all Masses. There will also be other events during the weekend, which will be announced in due course.
