Prayer for the Canonisation of Blessed Carlo Acutis
Oh God, Our Father,
thank you for giving us Carlo,
a life example for the young
and a message of love for everyone.
You made him become enamoured with
Your Son Jesus, Making of the Eucharist
his “Highway to Heaven”.
You gave him Mary, as a most loving Mother,
and, with the Rosary, you made him
a poet of her tenderness. Receive his prayer for us.
Above all, gaze upon the poor,
whom he loved and helped.
Grant for me too, by his intercession,
the grace that I need ...
And make our joy fulfilled,
placing Carlo among the Saints
of your Church, so that his smile
may shine again for us in the glory of your name.
Amen
A Novena to Saint Carlo Acutis involves praying for nine days, often beginning a few days before his feast day, to ask for grace and for his intercession in your life. Each day includes a prayer and a reflection on Saint Carlo's life, such as his deep connection to the Eucharist, his relationship with his guardian angel, and his commitment to a life of holiness, ending in a petition to God for your own intention.
