Blessed Carlo Acutis<\/h2>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n

There are lives that flow, seemingly normal. And then there are exceptional <\/strong>lives. What is most surprising about Carlo\u2019s story is how he managed to be profoundly original: offering everyone who knew him the portrait of an exceptionally smiling normality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlo was a boy like any other, and at the same time, he did extraordinary things. Without apparent effort, without any contradiction. He played the saxophone and, still very young, taught catechism <\/strong>to children. He played soccer with his friends, and an hour later, he would be volunteering <\/strong>at the soup kitchen of the Capuchins and Mother Teresa\u2019s nuns for the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details<\/summary>\n

He had fun with video games, and at the same time, he used the internet to do apostolic works<\/strong>. He watched detective shows and made films with his dogs and cats, and he helped the less fortunate in the neighborhood. He designed computer programs<\/strong> and helped other children with homework difficulties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enlightened,animated by an extraordinary faith <\/strong>that he had lived deeply since childhood. This made him an example capable of involving and inspiring others to action. Today, the Carlo Acutis Foundation seeks to enhance his testimony and moral and spiritual legacy<\/strong>, in line with the timeless values that young Carlo had been taught at home, which have always been part of a family history<\/strong> and are now translated on a broader scale by the Foundation\u2019s social action.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n
