Saint Carlo Acutis, pray for teenagers 🙏🎵

Описание: This is a prayer to Saint Carlo Acutis for teenagers, arranged as a modern song.
Carlo is the first millennial saint and is the patron Saint of the Internet, computer programmers and young people.
He has been called “God’s Influencer”.

Carlo was a typical teenager. He loved sports, video games, and computers. With his technological skills, he built an online database for Eucharistic miracles to enliven devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.

From a young age he embraced his Catholic faith, even though his parents were not particularly devout. After receiving his First Holy Communion, he went to Mass every single day, and his deep spirituality led to a renewal of faith in his mother.

This song is beautifully illustrated by anime-style drawings of some the key moments of the life of Saint Carlo Acutis:

0:32 (moderately) playing video games with his friends
0:55 his devotion to the Eucharist
1:19 programming his website about Eucharistic Miracles
1:48 standing up to bullies for his friends
2:45 Carlo bringing his mother to mass at a young age
3:11 his love for football
3:34 Carlo offering his sufferings to God during his leukemia

Lyrics:
God our Father, we give You thanks,
For the gift of Carlo’s life.
Young in years, yet strong in faith,
He loved the Eucharist.
In Heaven's Bread he found his joy,
His peace, his strength each day;
Jesus living, Jesus near,
His truth, his life, his way.

Awaken our hearts, O Lord,
Call the young to holiness.
Teach us to live in truth and love,
With joy and faithfulness.
Awaken our hearts, O Lord,
To follow You each day,
With simplicity and joy,
To walk the narrow way.

Through his prayers we ask of You, Lord
Stir the hearts of all the young;
Give them courage to do good,
To choose what’s right and true.
Let their lives speak hope and light,
In a world of empty lies;
Make them signs of Your great love,
Shining bright before all eyes.

Awaken our hearts, O Lord,
Call the young to holiness.
Teach us to live in truth and love,
With joy and faithfulness.
Awaken our hearts, O Lord,
To follow You each day,
With simplicity and joy,
To walk the narrow way.

May they find their hope in You, Lord.
Meaning deep and purpose sure.
Guard their hearts from paths that fade,
From falsehood insecure.
Make them builders of Your good,
A light among their friends,
Witnesses of Christ alive,
Until the journey ends.

Awaken our hearts, O Lord,
Call the young to holiness.
Teach us to live in truth and love,
With joy and faithfulness.
Awaken our hearts, O Lord,
To follow You each day,
With simplicity and joy,
To walk the narrow way.

Blessed Carlo, guide our steps,
You who showed the truest way.
“Eucharist, the road to heaven,”
Teach us what you used to say.
Pray for youth throughout the world,
That God’s beauty they may see,
And respond with joyful hearts
To His love eternally.

Awaken our hearts, O Lord,
Call the young to holiness.
Teach us to live in truth and love,
With joy and faithfulness.
Amen.
