Join us as we delve into the extraordinary, yet seemingly ordinary, life of Carlo Acutis, the Catholic Church's first millennial saint, scheduled for canonisation on 7 September 2025. Born in 1991, Carlo was a typical teenager who loved video games like Mario Brothers, Halo, and Pokémon, played the saxophone, and enjoyed football. Yet, beneath this surface, he harboured an extraordinary spiritual depth and an inexplicable draw to spiritual matters from a young age.

Discover how Carlo's profound faith, encapsulated by his declaration "To always be united with Jesus, this is my life plan", transformed his family and led him to attend daily Mass. His unwavering Eucharistic devotion was profound, famously stating, "The Eucharist is my highway to heaven".

At just 11 years old, Carlo, a self-taught computer genius who studied engineering textbooks from Milan University, embarked on his life's most significant project. He developed miracolieucaristici.org, a comprehensive website documenting over 130 Eucharistic miracles worldwide, complete with detailed accounts and scientific analysis, eventually translated into nearly 20 languages. This pioneering work cemented his legacy as a "digital evangelist" and inspired the "social media saints" generation, using technology not for self-promotion but for spiritual outreach. His methodology is now explicitly cited in Vatican guidelines for digital evangelisation.

We'll explore his rapid path to sainthood, including the two officially recognised miracles attributed to his intercession: the healing of Brazilian boy Mattheus Vianna in 2013 and Costa Rican student Valeria Valverde in 2022. Carlo's life, though tragically cut short by acute leukemia at age 15 in 2006, offers powerful lessons. As Pope Francis noted, "Carlo Acutis showed us that the internet can be a place of encounter, not just entertainment". He reminds us to "Be yourselves, be authentic, be original. Don't be a photocopy," inspiring young people worldwide to integrate faith with modern technology and find purpose in serving others.

Tune in to understand why Carlo Acutis stands as the saint our digital age needs most, bridging the digital and spiritual worlds and demonstrating that holiness is possible in our hyperconnected era.
