Carlo Acutis: A Modern Witness of Eucharistic Love

Author: World Apostolate of Fatima, USA April 24, 2025 Duration: 28:04
As Divine Mercy Sunday approaches, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the life and legacy of Blessed Carlo Acutis—the soon-to-be canonized "millennial saint." In this inspiring conversation, they explore how Carlo’s deep devotion to the Eucharist, quiet sacrifices, and digital evangelization echo the spirit of St. Francisco and St. Jacinta. They also share how April is a powerful month for Fatima devotees, honoring saints like St. Francisco and St. Louis de Montfort. Tune in to hear how Carlo’s example offers a radiant path of holiness for today’s youth in an age of distraction. This episode is pre-recorded. In light of Pope Francis’s passing, the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis has been deferred. We join in prayer for the Church during this time of transition.
