This is the story of a life utterly ordinary and unique - the life of Carlo Acutis - a life burning bright with the light of a God whose mystery nourished him in the Eucharist. It was precisely Carlo's unwavering devotion to the Eucharist that inspired him to tell the story of Eucharistic miracles through a website he created just for fun.
Carlo Acutis was indeed an extraordinary young man, but, as his family – especially his mother Antonia – says, “in the end, it is not about Carlo, but Jesus. If Carlo can serve as an example of how to encounter Jesus, so be it.”
Eucharist, charity, study, and the rosary. Through these, the computer became Carlo’s powerful instrument for evangelization. They turned this fifteen-year-old into the patron of the web and protector of all internet users. He was just as crazy about the internet as his peers, but only insofar as it would become a “vehicle for evangelization and catechesis.”
Fifteen years don’t seem like much, but, as Carlo demonstrates, they were enough for him to develop a deeper faith life than most adults. Holiness was the refrain of Carlo’s life.
