A self-taught computer programmer and gamer, Carlo Acutis harnessed his tech skills for evangelization, creating a website that catalogued global Eucharistic miracles with photos and maps to inspire faith. He attended daily Mass, practiced frequent Eucharistic adoration, volunteered at soup kitchens, taught catechism, and followed a personal "roadmap to holiness," emphasizing virtues like humility, purity, and a heartfelt desire for God.
His parish priest described him as "exceptionally transparent," and Pope Francis later praised him as a model of holiness in the digital age, dubbing him the "patron saint of the internet."
