Carlo Acutis : Un Geek au Paradis (French)

Text in French.

Haven't teenagers found their patron saint yet? Carlo Acutis could well be the one for them. Declared Blessed by Pope Francis, this young Italian who died at the age of 15 in 2006 has become an inspirational figure, whose influence stretches from Brazil to Australia. But what makes his life so relevant to us today? Carlo was a young man of his time: passionate about video games, an admirer of Steve Jobs and accustomed to spending evenings on the phone with his friends. But his real passion was the Eucharist, which he had made an integral part of his life since his First Holy Communion. At the same time, an exceptional talent for computers led him to become a digital missionary, recognized by all.

What makes Carlo Acutis' life resonate today is that it speaks of a world we know well, and invites us to reflect on holiness in everyday life. Through the challenges he faced - an increasingly connected world, bearing witness to his faith in a secularized society, but also managing friendships, passions, the relationship with his parents during adolescence, or even illness and death - Carlo shows us how to remain faithful to Christ.

This book is not just a biography, but a guide to the example of someone whose life is very much like our own. Whether you're a geek or not, Carlo Acutis' aspiration to holiness is likely to spread to young people, and far beyond.
