Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Today we celebrate an absolutely contemporary saint. Well he's a blessed but he's

pretty close to being a saint. That's Blessed Carlo Acutus who was born in 1991 and grew up in

Milan, Italy. From a young age, he had a profound love for the Eucharist.

Going to daily mass, praying the rosary, when he was 10 he said,

Jesus is very creative because he hides in a little piece of bread

and only God could do something so incredible and he discovered that at the consecration of the

mass that was the most important moment to ask Jesus for what he needed.

Carlos said who ask Jesus for what he needed.

Carlos said, who can intercede more for us than a God who offers himself back to God?

And when he received the Eucharist, he begged Jesus, make yourself at home, live within me as if it were your own dwelling.

Carla would often prepare for mass by going to adoration,

and he always remained with Jesus after receiving him in the eucharist in what we call eucharistic Thanksgiving.

Carlos said to always be close to Jesus. That's my life plan. But he lamented that so few people

knew Jesus in the Eucharist. He said, we can find God in his body, soul, and divinity

present in all the tabernacles of the world and if we think about it we are much more fortunate

than those who met Jesus on this earth 2,000 years ago because we have God really and substantially with us always.

It's enough to visit a nearby church.

Jerusalem is in every church, no room for despair.

God is always with us and will never abandon us.

How can people grasp this truth?
