Novena to Carlo Acutis
Opening Prayer
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I thank You for all the grace and favors with which You enriched the soul of Carlo Acutis during his 15 years on this earth. Through the merits of this Angel of Youth, grant me the grace which I earnestly seek (ask the grace which you seek).
Novena Petition of the Day
Day 1: “Not me, but God!”
Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who made your life a continual renunciation and setting aside of unimportant things, give me the grace to seek heavenly things and despise that which is transient. Amen.

Day 4: “Our soul is like a hot-air balloon…if by chance there is a mortal sin, the soul falls to the ground. Confession is like the fire underneath the balloon enabling the soul to rise again…it is important to go to confession often.”
Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who have lived this sacrament of reconciliation so well, give me the grace constantly to seek confession and the grace of deep contrition. Amen.

Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who loved the Virgin Mary above all women, give me the grace to respond to her kind and good love. Amen.

Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who have always looked for your hidden Jesus in the Tabernacle, give me the grace of a deep fervor for the Eucharist. Amen.

Blessed Carlo Acutis, give me that grace of graces–perseverance to the end and a saintly death. Amen.
