Blessed Carlo Acutis: A Model for Young Catholics
His Life and Legacy

He was fascinated by the Eucharist and would often spend hours in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Carlo also had a strong interest in computers and used his skills to create a website dedicated to documenting Eucharistic miracles.
