Here are some quotes of Saint Carlo Acutis that strike me to the soul.
“The Eucharist is the highway to heaven.”
“The more Eucharist we receive, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on earth we will have a foretaste of heaven.”
“By standing before the Eucharistic Christ, we become holy.”
“When we face the sun we get a tan… but when we stand before Jesus in the Eucharist we become saints.”
Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, I want to be a saint. Please ‘tan’ me before Your Blessed Sacrament. I want to be holy, fill me and overtake my soul with Your Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Draw me before you always that I may radiate You to the world. Holy Spirit, come. Come into my life to make me a great Saint – the man the Father created me to be when He gave me Your breath in my soul. Only Your fire through the Holy Eucharist and through Your Divine Mercy can make it happen. I surrender all to You, I trust You. Intercede for me that I may stand alongside you in Heaven when God calls me from earth. Amen…Amen
Saint Carlo Acutis, pray for us.
And from Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati
Jesus who, because of infinite love for humanity, wanted to be in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, as our Consoler and as Bread of the Soul.
When you are totally consumed by the Eucharistic fire, then you will be able more consciously to thank God, who has called you to become part of His family.
Jesus is with me. I have nothing to fear.
Every day, my love for the mountains grows more and more. If my studies permitted, I’d spend whole days in the mountains contemplating the Creator’s greatness in that pure air.
