Carlo Acutis

Carlo Acutis died at 15 in 2006 and was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020.

“My life plan is to always be connected to Jesus”. With these few  words, Carlo Acutis, who died of leukemia when he was only fifteen years old, outlined the distinctive feature of his brief existence: living with
Jesus, for Jesus and in Jesus”

To quote Carlo’s own words: “Our destination must be what is infinite, not what is finite. Infinity is our homeland. We have been expected in Heaven since time immemorial”. He also said: “All are born with their own originality, but many die as photocopies” To avoid being a photocopy we need to make the Word of God our Compass
