Oh Father, who has given us the ardent testimony,
of the young Venerable Carlo Acutis,
who made the Eucharist the core of his life
and the strength of his daily commitments
so that everybody may love You above all else, let him soon be
counted among the Blessed and the Saints in Your Church.
Confirm my faith, nurture my hope, strengthen my charity,
in the image of young Carlo who, growing in these virtues,
now lives with You. Grant me the grace that I need:
that Jimmer would be granted complete healing from ALS
I trust in You, Father,
and your Beloved Son Jesus,
in the Virgin Mary, our Dearest Mother,
and in the intervention of Your Venerable Carlo Acutis.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
