In this episode of Catholic Talks, we reflect on the remarkable faith of Blessed Carlo Acutis — a modern teenager who used technology to share the timeless truth of the Gospel.

Though raised in a wealthy Italian family, Carlo lived with striking simplicity. He used his computer skills to build a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles around the world — long before social media made evangelization easy. Despite his privileged upbringing, he chose humility, prayer, and service as his path to holiness.

This episode invites listeners to see how holiness is possible in everyday life, even in a digital world full of distractions. Through Carlo’s story, we’re reminded that sanctity isn’t about status or success — it’s about love, faith, and offering your gifts for God’s glory.
