Carlo Acutis: The First Millennial Saint

This young man was what I call a “ savant” Catholic! At the tender age of 4 years old, he had fallen in love with Christ and the Eucharists. As a very young teen, he was renowned for being devout, yet still maintained normal teen relations. When Carlo learned he had terminal cancer, which took him very quickly, he told his mother not to worry as soon he’d be with God. He passed in 2006 from acute promyelocytic leukemia. His death occurred shortly after he was diagnosed, and he offered his suffering for the Pope and the Church. He was only 15 years old. Carlo was scheduled to be canonized by Pope Francis on the very same day Francis died. Pope Leo XIV canonized Blessed Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati together Sept. 7, 2025.

This is an inspiring story of a new young saint.

The life and faith of Carlo are an inspiration to all, young and old. God gave him the grace and virtues to follow his Lord unreservedly. Saint Carlo, pray for us!

In the process of moving. Still need to finish reading. What I read so far has not disappointed.

This young man was a wonderful example of how to meet people where they were in their life & help them. What a fabulous example he was!

It a great book about an amazing young man… I have the book & bought this as a gift… recipient was thrilled !!

Husband happy with book

Interesting and useful tips from a boy who will soon be a Saint. He learnt at an early age how to avoid sin and please God to reach the gates of heaven as soon as possible. Now je comes down from heaven to heal the sick. Miracles from Carlo are already witnessed.
