Novena to Blessed Carlo Acutis

Opening Prayer (prayed each day)


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 (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.

Day 2: “Always be united with Jesus, that is my life’s programme”


Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who have lived in the heart of Jesus, give
me the grace to apply Jesus’ plan of love to everything. 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.

Day 3: “Continuously ask your Guardian Angel for help. Your


Guardian Angel has to become your best friend”
Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who saw the company of Holy Angels while you were
already in this world, give me the grace to live righteously, as my Guardian Angel
desires. 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.

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.
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.
Day 5: “Sadness is looking at ourselves, happiness is looking towards God”
Blessed Carlo Acutis, You who have never looked away from your great love, Jesus,
give me the grace also to live with this happiness in this world. 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.

Day 6: “The only thing we have to ask God for in prayer is the desire to be holy”
Blessed Carlo Acutis, you who have always asked God for what is essential, give me
the grace of a deep desire for Heaven. 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.

Day 7: “The Virgin Mary is the only woman in my life”


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.
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.

Day 8: “The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven”


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

Day 9: “I am happy to die because I have lived my life without wasting a minute on
those things which do not please God”
Blessed Carlo Acutis, give me that grace of graces–perseverance to the end and a
saintly death. 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.

Final Prayer (prayed after Meditation each day)


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.
