Amazon review from a participant of the pilot at St. Peter’s Kirkwood, Mo:

“Be a Saint in the Making is a beautiful and timely book that brings faith to life in a relatable way. I especially appreciated the emphasis on the story of Blessed Carlo Acutis—his love for the Eucharist, his everyday holiness, and his passion for using his talents to serve God make him a remarkable role model for young people today. The book reminds us that sainthood is not distant or unattainable—it is a universal call.

Equally valuable are the weekly activities designed for families. They are simple, engaging, and provide meaningful opportunities to pray, serve, and grow together in faith without feeling overwhelming.

If you are seeking a resource that will inspire your children—and you—to see sainthood as both possible and joyful, this book is an excellent choice. It is uplifting, encouraging, and a wonderful tool for families desiring to deepen their relationship with God.”

“Holiness is the perfection of love.”
St. Thomas Aquinas

On September 7th, 2025, Pope Leo XIV of the Roman Catholic Church, canonized
Saint Carlo Acutis, holy, perfection in the love of a Saint. After a quick canonization
process of only 13 years, Carlo Acutis, who died on October 12th, 2006, became the first millennial Saint. At a very young age, Carlo used his astounding “gift” of computer programming to create a webpage categorizing the Vatican approved Eucharistic
Miracles of the World. He devised and displayed Eucharistic Miracle panels in local
Churches where he lived in Milan. He said, “Always to be united with Jesus, that’s my
life programme.”

His mother, Antonia Salzano Acutis, called him an “influencer for God.” He would live
on, after his death at the age of 15 from a rare form of Leukemia, influencing many by
his great love for Jesus in the Eucharist. With his webpage and Eucharistic Miracle
panels, he continues to teach the truth of the Real Presence of Jesus, His Body, Blood,
Soul and Divinity, truly and substantially present in the Eucharist. He said, “The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven.”

In Antonia’s book, ‘My Son Carlo,’ she shares a beautiful vision he had when he was
about 8. Carlo saw Our Lady of Fatima in a procession at church. Coming up to him,
placing her Immaculate Heart in his chest, she asked Carlo to consecrate himself to her
Immaculate Heart and to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Carlo responded to Our Lady’s request by giving his fiat of “yes.” He was a Saint in the making! Consecrating himself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, he was formed a Saint,
holy, perfect in love.

Carlo became a Saint right where God placed him in his everyday family life. God desires that all of His children grow in holiness of love and become Saints in their
families. Sister Lucia, the last living seer of the three shepherd children of Fatima,
wrote a letter to Italian Cardinal Carlo Caffarra in the 1980s. She revealed that the
decisive battle between the Kingdom of Christ and Satan will be over marriage and family. Many of our families are currently experiencing this battle, but Our Lady has a battle plan!!

Sister Lucia shared Our Lady’s battle plan with Carlo. Antonia writes in ‘My Son Carlo,’ “A few days after the death of Sister Lucia in 2005, Carlo dreamed of her. She told him that the practice of the first five Saturdays of the month could change the destiny of the
world.”

Our Lady of Fatima asked Sister Lucia to propagate the first five Saturday devotion.
Jesus appeared to Sister Lucia in 1943 declaring his desire for this devotion to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary: “because the love of this Heart attracts souls to Me, it is the center from which the rays of My light and My love go throughout all the earth, and the
unquenchable fountain from which the living water of My mercy flows into the earth.”

Give Jesus your fiat of “yes,” to His Light, Love and Mercy through Mary’s Heart.
Respond to Our Lady’s battle plan; consecrate your family with “Be a Saint in the Making: The Family Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary through the
Intercession of Saint Carlo Acutis.” God desires ALL of His family to be Saints, to be holy in the perfection of love. Our Lady has promised that Her Immaculate Heart will
triumph! Say “yes!” Be a family of Saints in the making!
