Today is the Feast Day of St. Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint, who lived from 1991-2006. He used his computer skills to create a website that tracked every known Eucharistic miracle in the world. He showed us that holiness can be lived in ordinary life…through prayer, going to Mass and quiet acts of charity. May he inspire us to use the gifts God has given us to share His love with others. St. Carlo, pray for us.

Did you know, Padua obtained a first-class relic of St. Carlo one year ago?
