Prayer

Father in Heaven, I give You thanks for the graces and devotion that You gave to St. Carlo Acutis.

Through the merits of this Angel of Youth, grant me the graces which I earnestly seek: for the complete and total healing of Thomas Steinke from this leukemia diagnosis, for feeling to come back to his legs, and for this miracle to also bring along with it a host of conversions of family, friends and strangers to knowing and trusting You in all Your love, Eucharistic presence, power and might! Amen.

Saint Carlo, you made the Holy Eucharist the focus of your life and devoted yourself to God in our modern times.

You engaged in the world but did not attach yourself to it.

Through your prayers obtain for me the graces from God to do the same, to be faithful always and lead others to Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.

I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Concluding Prayers:

  • Our Father
  • Hail Mary
  • Glory Be

    Saint Carlo Acutis, pray for us!
