Follow these directions for a short lesson and activity on Blesed Carlo Acutis, a Catholic teenager with a great deication to the Eucharist who is expected to be canonized in the near future.
- Explain a little bit about Bl. Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager who died of leukemia in 2006. Although his parents were only nominally Catholic, Carlo had a supernatural love for the Eucharist. His love inspired him to use his talents with computers to create a website that catalogs every Eucharistic miracle in history.
- Divide students into small groups and have them open Bl. Carlo Acutis’ website on Eucharistic miracles.
- Ask the students to explore the website and select a Eucharistic miracle that they find particularly interesting.
- Regather and ask each group to share their chosen miracle with the class.
This activity was created by Larisa Tuttle, a senior at the University of Dallas.
