Novena to Carlo Acutis – Day 9: Holy Death

Opening Prayer

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I thank You for all the favors and graces with which You enriched the soul of Saint Carlo Acutis during the 15 years he spent on this Earth. Through the merits of this dearly beloved Angel of Youth, I implore You to grant me the grace I ardently ask of You: (state here the grace you desire).

Meditation for the Ninth Day

"I am happy to die because I have lived my life without wasting a single minute on things that do not please God"

Saint Carlo Acutis, grant me the grace of graces, which is final perseverance and a holy death. Amen.

Pray 5 Our Fathers, 5 Hail Marys, and 5 Glory Be's in honor of the 15 years of the servant of God on this Earth.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Closing Prayer

God, Father of Mercy, who raised this Your servant Carlo Acutis to the glory of the altars so that, through him, You might be more glorified, grant us, through his merits—he who lived Your will in all things—the grace I ardently desire. Amen.
