03 Faith Impact - Blessed Carlo Acutis Example


Listen Later

In this episode we are joined by my good friend, Colton Duncan, who is a college student. We talk about the impact that knowing about you faith will have in your life. Colton shares with us the example of the life of Blessed Carlo Acutis, a young man who died at 15 years of age, and was beatified by Pope Francis.

Born in England, he lived between 1991 and 2006. He lived most of his life in Italy. He was quite tech-savvy, and set up a website to promote the different Eucharistic Miracles that occurred in the history of the Church throughout the world. You can see that website at www.miracolieucaristici.org

He had a great devotion to the Holy Eucharist, had a great heart to help those in need, especially the poor. He was diagnosed with leukemia, and died soon afterward. He embraced his death with great peace and hope in eternal life and in God’s help.

You can read more about the Eucharist, the Holy Mass and the blessed Sacrament, in numbers 271, 273, 280, 282 through 286. You can find it online here: https://www.vatican.va/archive/compendium_ccc/documents/archive_2005_compendium-ccc_en.html

If you Google “Carlo Acutis” you will see many pictures of him!
