He played video games, excelled athletically and academically, manifested contagious joy and wit – even in suffering – and befriended all those he met. St. Carlo Acutis (1991-2006), already hailed “the greatest saint of the century,” was a Thomas Aquinas in blue jeans.
It’s almost unheard of that parents take part in the beatification of their own child. So, too, is it uncommon for parents to miraculously be brought back to the Faith and dedicated Christian living by their child. All this happened in the lives of Antonia and Andrea, the young parents of Carlo, who was beatified on October 10, 2020, by Pope Francis and will be canonized on April 27, 2025.
In this astounding interview, you will marvel as Antonia and Andrea retrace the path they walked with Carlo and share fascinating moments in his life in which his faith matured, including the plan of life that he developed for himself on the day after his First Holy Communion. Reading these intimate stories, you will be struck by how very ordinary their life together was, how common and within reach, and how extraordinary it became once this amazing young man threw his arms open wide to God in his life.
As you read remarkably penetrating passages from St. Carlo’s writings and counsels on the Gospels, the Eucharist, and the mysteries of our Faith, and maxims he shared, this millennial mystic will teach you how to:
*Embrace seven “special secrets” on becoming a saint
*Fall in love with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and transmit the Faith spontaneously to others
*Make fruitful Confessions and kindle your spiritual progress in daily practical ways
*Evangelize the culture by “Rendering Eucharist” using modern media and personal witness
*Adore the Eucharist for the transformation of the world and live in “constant intimacy with Jesus”
*Model forgotten virtues, such as friendship, magnanimity, purity, and fortitude
Few may realize that St. Carlo was a brilliant catechist who also created numerous displays about the Faith, most notably the Eucharistic Miracles exhibition of worldwide fame. Through the lens of his spiritual wisdom, you will discover how all of creation points to the Holy Eucharist and why the Real Presence is the source of all family life, evangelization, and holiness. Additionally, you will read testimonies about St. Carlo’s generosity to the poor, the sick, the suffering, the homeless, and the disabled.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
