Carlo Acutis was a boy who loved video games, soccer, and his friends. But above all, he loved the Eucharist. Growing up in Milan, Italy, this ordinary teenager lived an extraordinary faith, using his self-taught computer skills to build parish websites and create a globally recognized online exhibition documenting Eucharistic miracles. Diagnosed with leukemia at fifteen, Carlo offered his suffering for the Pope and the Church, dying on October 12, 2006. Beatified by Pope Francis in 2020, he shines as a radiant model of holiness for young people in the digital age.
