Saint Carlo Acutis.
One Heart One Mind Vision.
In a world increasingly tethered to the digital realm, where algorithms shape our thoughts and screens dictate our attention, there emerges a figure who bridges the gap between the sacred and the silicon—Saint Carlo Acutis. This teenage saint, often dubbed the "patron of the internet," didn’t just live a life of profound devotion; he harnessed the tools of modernity to spread the Gospel with a fervor that feels almost revolutionary, even today. At Journeys of Faith (Bob and Penny Lord Store), we find ourselves captivated by his story, not just as a testament to youthful holiness, but as a blueprint for evangelization in an age of endless scrolling.

Carlo Acutis, who passed away at just 15 in 2006, was a tech-savvy kid with a heart ablaze for Christ. He built websites to catalog Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions, turning the internet into a cathedral of faith long before most of us understood the power of a URL. His mission was clear: to reach souls wherever they were, even in the uncharted corners of cyberspace. For us at Journeys of Faith, founded by Bob and Penny Lord in 1980 with a mission to evangelize through multimedia and pilgrimages, Carlo’s story resonates deeply. Our motto, One Heart, One Mind, One Spirit, With One Vision!, echoes the unity and purpose that Carlo embodied—a vision of drawing all hearts to the Eucharist, the Source and Summit of our faith.

As devout Catholics seeking spiritual growth, we are called to look at saints not just as historical figures, but as companions on our journey. Carlo Acutis, canonized in 2020, is a companion for our digital age, showing us that holiness isn’t confined to ancient catacombs or medieval monasteries. It can thrive in the glow of a laptop screen. Through our ministry at Journeys of Faith, where we’ve spent decades producing books, videos, and resources on Catholic saints and holy sites, we see Carlo as a beacon—a reminder that the tools of today can serve the timeless truths of the Church. Join us as we explore how this young saint’s life and legacy can inspire us to evangelize with one heart and one mind, transforming the internet into a space of divine encounter.
