I recently lost all my contacts, passwords, family photographs, and important data stored through my old phone. I have prayed asking him to assist me in finding some of my passwords, in order to retrieve some of my most treasured memories. 2 out of three of my petitions were answered. I offered up daily prayers in gratitude. As a senior citizen, those pictures and documents are my lifeline to joy and memories of family members long gone. I too, have followed St. Francis of Assisi, and was blessed to visit Assisi, the home where he grew up and the grand seminary. By chance we were taken through a part of the courtyard and saw the seminarians walking in silence. I will never forget the emotions felt. So, in an odd way, I feel Saint Carlo and I have that in common. Thank you for any additional prayers you may offer for the recuperation of my family’s memories. Grazie San Carlo Acutis, grazies San Francesco d’Assisi 🕊️🪽
