We're All Called to Sanctity

As Catholics, we are called to be a lot of things. Evangelists, peacemakers, and Saints. While it is an ideal to strive for, it's not always easy. From spiritual warfare to the imperfect nature of ourselves and fellow believers, it's not always an easy path. One person who showed us the path was Blessed Carlo Acutis.

This soon-to-be millennial saint was an Italian teenager whose zeal for the adoration of our Lord through the Blessed Eucharist led him to create a website. Here, we posed stories of miracles that further emphasize the fullness of the Catholic faith. From eucharistic miracles to apparitions of Our Lady, he aimed to show the world the beauty that God continues to show us to this very day.

While he passed from this side of eternity due to Leukemia in 2006, his website, his uncorrupted body, and his legacy to Christ have kept him considered for sainthood. With a second miracle attributed to him through the recovery of a person who had severe brain hemorrhaging, the process of his canonization has begun, and he will be declared a Saint this Sunday, September 7.

Reflecting on this story, I believe it can give us hope that we can all make a change through the internet, as well as in our lives. While Bl. Acutis had his content spread throughout the internet.

Think about how much further he could have spread his message if he had had social media. With this, try to share your favorite homily, saint story, or Skool site with someone you know!
