Blessed Carlo Acutis (1991-2006)
Memorial is October 12.
Update: In late May 2024, it was announced that Blessed Carlo Acutis will be canonized a saint in the Catholic Church some time in 2025. Carlo was instrumental in the conversion of his parents, and since his death, his mother has been receiving messages in dreams from Carlo and St. Francis Assisi concerning the state of the world and God's plans.
Carlo, whose earthly body is incorrupt (it hasn't decayed and still looks the same as the day he died), is said to occupy a high place in Heaven. It is also said that God will fulfill every prophecy when this teenage saint is canonized, and every teenager will be touched with sanctifying grace and there will be a mass awakening of young people!
Carlo said we are living in the society of the antichrist, where we put ourselves (and "rock stars") at the center of the world and try to eliminate God. Rather than focusing on self or other humans, we need to focus on God first and foremost, "not me but God". "Happiness is to look on God." Our goal is heaven, this life is very short. So instead of queuing up at concerts and the gym, we need to get in line at the churches to adore Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
Carlo is the Apostle to the Eucharist, which is the Highway to Heaven. Carlo created a huge database of all of the Eucharistic miracles, one of his computer geek activities for Our Lord.
