Beato Carlo Acutis - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Blessed Carlo Acutis - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
Born in London and raised in Milan, had a remarkable spiritual journey that serves as an inspiration to many. Carlo's deep faith blossomed early, marked by his first communion at age seven. He became a devoted communicant, praying before the Tabernacle before and after Mass. Carlo looked up to saints like Francis of Assisi, Bernadette Soubirous, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, and Dominic Savio, drawing inspiration from their lives. He displayed compassion at school, comforting friends in times of parental divorce and defending disabled students from bullies. Beyond his studies, Carlo volunteered to help the homeless, embracing the call to serve those in need. He enjoyed simple pleasures like films, comics, soccer, and video games. He combined his love for technology with faith, dedicating four years to creating a website cataloguing Eucharistic miracles worldwide. Carlo's life took a challenging turn with a Leukemia diagnosis, but he offered his suffering to God for the intentions of Pope Benedict XVI and the Church. Sadly, his dream of visiting Eucharistic miracle sites was cut short by his illness. Carlo passed away in 2006 and was beatified in 2020, with his final resting place in Assisi. Carlo's beatification in Assisi's Basilica of St. Francis was attended by many of his childhood friends, highlighting his ability to use technology to spread the Gospel and foster friendship with the Lord. Carlo Acutis did not seek fame; instead, he sought to cooperate generously with God's grace. His journey, though brief, was marked by an unwavering desire to serve God and others selflessly. The artist's portrayal of Carlo in front of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi captures the essence of this remarkable young man, whose life continues to inspire and guide us on our spiritual journeys. His liturgical feast is celebrated on October 12th, reminding us of the profound impact of a life lived in faith and service.
