Novena to Blessed Carlo Acutis: Day 1

Novena to Blessed Carlo Acutis: Day 1

Opening Prayer

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I thank you for all the
grace and favours with which you enriched the soul of Blessed
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

(Pause here and ask the grace which you seek).

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.

Pray five “Our Fathers”, five “Hail Marys”, and five “Glory Be to the
Fathers” to give thanks to God for the grace granted Carlo during
his life.

Closing Prayer
Almighty God, Father of Mercy, raise Blessed Carlo Acutis to the glory of the altars so that through him you will be even more glorified. Give us the honour of calling him “Saint,” for he lived Your Will in all things. And through his merit, give me the grace that I so ardently desire.

Amen.
