A prayer that entrusts to Carlo Acutis our search for authenticity in the journey of faith. A young man in love with Jesus present in the Eucharist, Carlo teaches us that true originality does not lie in the fashions of the world, but in personal encounter with Christ. This prayer asks the young blessed one to intercede so that we discover the beauty of a life consecrated to Jesus, freeing ourselves from the photocopies of contemporary culture to become ourselves: free children, just and full of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carlo, smile of heaven
for this wounded and peaceless world,
we praise God
for your simple, joyful and holy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You accepted with trust
to be stripped of your youth
to dedicate yourself in heaven, with Jesus and Mary,
to a mission of boundless love.
Resting with your mortal body
where Francis of Assisi
stripped himself of every earthly good,
you cry out with him to the world that Jesus is all our joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Young man, full of dreams,
attracted by nature, by sports, by the internet,
but even more enraptured by the miracle
of Jesus truly present in the Sacred Host,
help us to believe that He is there alive and true,
the mystical \u201chighway\u201d that leads to heaven,
and teach us to contemplate Him with Mary,
in the mysteries of the Holy Rosary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explain to us, Carlo,
that, beyond every fashion,
only Jesus, by uniting ourselves to Him,
makes us \u201coriginals and not photocopies,\u201d
truly free.
Grant us know how to meet Him
in every creature, but especially in the poor,
so that humanity may be more just and fraternal,
rich in beauty and hope,
to the glory of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
