Pray the Rosary with Blessed Carlo Acutis: The Shortest Way to Heaven

Blessed Carlo Acutis is on his way to becoming the first millennial saint - a true inspiration for teenage Catholics in the 21st Century. Already being known as the "Cyber Apostle of God" due to his computer programming skills, he is famously recognised for developing a website exhibition on Eucharistic Miracles worldwide. He was enthralled in the Eucharist as his "highway to heaven", as he would say. He is also serving as an inspiration for parents, Church leaders, Catholic teachers and Catechists who are bringing a new dimension to teaching the faith to young people. Through his short life, his quotes and phrases were profoundly deep. May Blessed Carlo be an instrument to inspire us all in the 21st Century. "Pray the Rosary with Blessed Carlo Acutis" is a guided meditation booklet to help readers learn about Blessed Carlo's life through the simplicity of his quotes in combination with the mysteries of the Holy Rosary, as Carlo called "the shortest ladder to heaven". This little booklet contains all four mysteries of the Rosary - Joyful, Sorrowful, Mysteries of Light and Glorious. For each decade, you are invited to meditate on the life of Jesus through a short bible verse and reflect on Carlo's quote and image. The booklet also includes a forward written by Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo, author of "Blessed Carlo Acutis. 5 Steps to Being a Saint". Carlo was devoted to Our Lady. "The Virgin Mary is the only woman in my life," he used to say, and he called the Rosary, which he prayed daily, the "shortest ladder to heaven" and the "most powerful weapon after the Eucharist to fight the devil." Just as Carlo recognised the power of the intercession of Our Lady, you are invited to embark on an encounter with Mary, to bring you closer to Jesus. Perfect as a gift for children preparing for First Holy Communion or Confirmation. Or for yourself, as part of your daily spiritual reading and as a way to bring the Rosary into your daily prayer life.
