Blessed Carlo Acutis & Pier Giorgio Frassati Will be canonised on Sunday by Pope Leo XVI. There will be an information sheet about the two new Saints in the porch at the end of all the Masses on Sunday.

I will be blessing the icon and the new statue of Carlo Acutis this Sunday at the 11am Mass

Prayer to Saint Carlo Acutis

O God, our Father

Thank you for giving us Carlo,

model of life for young people,

and a message of love for all.

You gave him Mary, a beloved Mother,

and with the Rosary you made him

sing the praises of her tenderness.

Accept his prayer for us.

Attend especially to the poor,

whom he loved and helped.

Through his intercession,

may I receive the grace I need .....

And fulfil our joy, by placing Carlo among

the Saints of your Holy Church,

that his smile may shine again for us

for the glory of your name

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Prayer for Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati

Heavenly Father,

Give me the courage to strive

for the highest goals,

to flee every temptation to be mediocre.

Enable me to aspire to greatness,

as Pier Giorgio did,

and to open my heart with joy

 to Your call to holiness.

Free me from the fear of failure.

I want to be, Lord, firmly

and forever united to You.

Grant me the graces I ask You through

Pier Giorgio's intercession,

by the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
