Opening
God of every generation, you gave St. Carlo a joyful desire for Jesus in the Eucharist and a generous love for his neighbors. Through Carlo's intercession, renew my friendship with Christ, guide the gifts you have entrusted to me, and receive my intention. Teach me to seek holiness without display or delay. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
- 03
Your Intention
Let us pause in silence, and bring to mind the intention you are praying for.
In the app, your own saved intention rests here during the silence. The narration stays the same for everyone.

Scripture
Matthew 5:8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
- 05
Reflection
Purity is not shame or fear of the body; it is the grace of loving God and people without reducing them to objects. An undivided heart learns freedom through truth, chastity, repentance, and wise boundaries. Christ's mercy can restore vision after every fall. What enters through a screen can train either reverence or consumption.
- 06
Prayer
St. Carlo, intercede for purity in my thoughts, relationships, and use of technology. Help me seek reconciliation when I sin and treat every person, including myself, as someone made for holy love. Ask Christ to give me courage to seek accountability and remove occasions that repeatedly wound love. Amen.
- 07
Our Father
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.
- 08
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among 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.
- 09
Glory Be
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.
- 10
Closing
St. Carlo, young friend of Jesus, pray for children, teenagers, families, and all who seek holiness in ordinary life. Help us receive Christ reverently, use our gifts with wisdom, serve the poor, and run faithfully toward heaven. Keep every screen, friendship, and decision ordered toward love. Amen.
