Carlo Acutis Worksheet

Name _____________________________________ Date _______________ Carlo Acutis Directions: Read the biography and answer the questions. Carlo Acutis was born 1991 and grew up in Milan, Italy. Carlo was very interested in his faith as a child. He asked his mother many questions about God and loved going to Church even though his parents were not very religious. He had a deep love for Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. He convinced his parents to let him receive his first communion as early as possible when he was seven years old. Afterwards he went to mass every single day and even when travelling on vacation with his family. He spent extra time after each mass to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. Carlo loved computers and his PlayStation. He limited his own video game time to only one hour a week so that he would not become overly attached to the games. He spent much of his free time building a website to share stories about the many Eucharistic miracles throughout the world. It bothered him that there were such long lines of people to see rock concerts and movies, but so few people in line during Mass for the Eucharist. At only fifteen years old, Carlo was diagnosed with leukemia, but he did not lose his faith. He offered his suffering to the Lord, the Pope, and to the Church. He died in 2006 and he was buried in Assisi, the home of Saint Francis. 1.
