Product Description

•••••

The newly canonized Carlo Acutis has become one of the most well-known figures of holiness in modern times. Since his death in 2006 at the age of 15, people across the world have been captivated by Carlo's life and personality and sought his intercession. His youthful zeal and devotion to the Eucharist are well documented, and many people in his life attest to his personal holiness and fearlessness in talking about his faith and love for Jesus.

For the first time, Carlo's simple and insightful words have been collected into one book. Carlo's Simple Wisdom demonstrates that it is possible even today to live in harmony with the will of God. Carlo's life was a race, fast and brief. He has reached the goal he longed for, and he wants nothing more for us than to join him in heaven.

Carlo said, "Everyone is born as an original, but many people end up dying as photocopies." Unique, unrepeatable, and loved in a singular way by God, each of us is one of a kind. We risk becoming photocopies when we depart from the path Jesus has laid out for us. The truth that Carlo recalled, "God is always with us," is of utmost importance. We must become "intimate friends of Christ." Carlo has given us many words of hope to hold onto as we aspire to pursue holiness as he did.
