SAINT FEAST DAY 12 OCTOBER: BL. CARLO ACUTIS

BLESSED CARLO ACUTIS, WEB DESIGNER

Blessed Carlo Acutis was an Italian web designer who died at the age of fifteen. He passed away from leukaemia in October 2006, and is known for having used his knowledge of computers to create a website that catalogued Eucharistic miracles across the world.

HE WAS VERY DEVOTED TO THE HOLY EUCHARIST

A pious Catholic, he went to Mass each day and was very devoted to the Eucharist. His parents and classmates state that Bl. Carlo "helped them better live out their faith, by earning their respect", according to Rome Reports.

HE WAS NOT ASHAMED TO SHARE THE FAITH

Francesca Consoli, of the Office of the Causes of Saints of the Archdiocese of Milan, said, "He was not ashamed to share convictions with others.

"But people would not make fun of him, because they understood that his convictions were real, they came from inside him. It wasn’t something artificial."

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus. And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright. HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome.

GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mary’s Assumption in 1

After the death of her husband and her daughters, she went to the monastery of St Aurea, named St-Maria de Cuteclara, and after her martyrdom led the same for nine years as her successor. After she had made wonderful progress in all virtues, she was finally summoned to renounce the faith before a Saracen judge. But since she remained steadfast, she was first beaten very cruelly and then thrown into a bath of boiling pitch, where she remained in praise of God for three hours and then flew to heaven on October 19, 864. St Laura is of the 48 Martyrs of Cordoba. PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who
