LIVE FROM THE TOMB OF CARLOS ACUTIS

@wearecatholic, the website and its works are hereby prayerfully placed under the patronage of Blessed  Carlo Acutis.

He was born on May 3, 1991, in London, England, to Italian parents. He moved to Milan, Italy, shortly after his birth and grew up there. From a young age, Carlo demonstrated a deep devotion to his Catholic faith. He attended daily Mass, frequently received the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and prayed the Rosary regularly.

Carlo was also passionate about technology. He taught himself programming and used his skills to create a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles from around the world. His work aimed to foster faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Carlo combined his love for technology with his religious devotion, seeing the internet as a tool for evangelization.

Carlo was known for his kindness, compassion, and willingness to help others. He volunteered at soup kitchens and worked with the homeless, always exhibiting a deep sense of empathy and care.

In 2006, at the age of 15, Carlo was diagnosed with leukemia. He offered his suffering for the Pope and the Church, maintaining a positive attitude and deep faith throughout his illness. Carlo passed away on October 12, 2006.

Carlo's life and virtues garnered significant attention, leading to the initiation of his cause for canonization. He was declared Venerable in 2018 and beatified by Pope Francis on October 10, 2020, in Assisi, Italy, where his remains are interred. 

Carlo Acutis is often referred to as the "cyber-apostle of the Eucharist," recognised for his blend of faith and technology and his exemplary Christian life.
