The Prayer For The Canonisation Of Carlo Acutis
This is the official prayer that the faithful prayed while asking God to raise Carlo to the altars. That prayer was answered: Carlo was canonized on 7 September 2025. It is kept here as a beautiful way to ask for his intercession today.
Official Prayer
To be recited for Carlo's intercession
Oh God, Our Father,
thank you for giving us Carlo,
a life example for the young
and a message of love for everyone.
You made him become enamoured with
Your Son Jesus, making of the Eucharist
his “Highway to Heaven”.
You gave him Mary, as a most loving Mother,
and, with the Rosary, you made him
a poet of her tenderness.
Receive his prayer for us.
Above all, gaze upon the poor,
whom he loved and helped.
Grant for me too, by his intercession,
the grace that I need …
And make our joy fulfilled,
placing Carlo among the Saints
of your Church, so that his smile
may shine again for us in the glory of your name.
Amen.
Pater, Ave, Gloria
(“Our Father”, “Hail Mary”, “Glory be to God”)
