Grant through his intercession the grace I need (mention your intention). May his joyful example shine again among us, for the glory of Your name. Amen.
Words to Inspire
Some of Saint Carlo’s memorable quotes:
- “The Eucharist is my Highway to Heaven.”
- “There are people who suffer much more than me.”
- “Continuously ask your guardian angel for help. Your guardian angel has to become your best friend.”
- “Not me, but God.”
- “I am happy to die because I have lived my life without wasting a minute on those things which do not please God.”
- “Our goal must be infinite, not the finite. The infinite is our homeland. Heaven has been waiting for us forever.”
- “The Virgin Mary is the only woman in my life.”
- “The more Eucharist we receive, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on earth we will have a foretaste of heaven.”
- “Do not be afraid because, with the Incarnation of Jesus, death becomes life.”
