Carlo acutis: holiness for the third millennium - camille w. de prévaux

Carlo Acutis was like other boys his age.

In his hometown of Milan, Italy, he loved video games, playing soccer, and hanging out with his friends.

But unlike most other boys, he also loved going to Mass, and his deep concern for others was felt by everyone around him--including the poor, the brokenhearted, and even stray dogs.

A self-taught computer whiz, Carlo used his tech skills to serve the Church and to share his faith in Christ.

He built websites for parishes, and he created an online exhibition to document Eucharistic miracles around the world.

At the age of fifteen, Carlo was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia and died a week later on October 12, 2006.

In 2018, a miracle was attributed to his intercession, and Pope Francis beatified him in 2020.

He has become a shining example of faith, hope, and love, especially to young people.
