Newly releseased from Catholic Truth Society, this book shares the biography of Blessed Carlo Acutis, 1991-2006, and his five steps to being a saint.
"We make a choice in life: God or nothing. Blessed Carlo Acutis chose God – “Not I, but God” – in five simple practices. The Mass, Adoration, Confession and spiritual guidance, befriending the Blessed Mother and the saints, and charity. These daily “appointments” led Carlo to a life of intimacy with Jesus and love for neighbour that makes him today the first millennial Blessed.
You and I can be saints by making our own Carlo’s “five steps,” which Monsignor Figueiredo expounds through his simple presentation of Blessed Carlo’s captivating witness that shows it is achievable with desire and God’s grace.
"I challenge you to read this booklet with the desire to be a saint. Share it with others, especially the young, in your homes, parishes, schools, universities, and along whatever path you tread. You will grow in love of God and neighbour, live life close to God, and meet Jesus, who awaits us, in this life and the next, as our most faithful friend."
