From his childhood in Milan to his last days in the hospital, Saint Carlo Acutis lived one simple principle:
"Not Me, but God."
That conviction was rooted in his deep love for The Imitation of Christ--the path it reveals and the spirituality it embodies.
After his death, Carlo's family discovered a treasure on his computer: notes, meditations, and outlines that showed how profoundly he had absorbed and re-expressed the classic themes of The Imitation of Christ for his own time. In this book, Carlo's mother, Antonia Salzano Acutis, together with Nicola Gori, arranges those personal writings to reveal the "inner program" that shaped this modern teenager into a saint: abandonment to God, humility, contempt for worldly glory, love of the Cross, and above all, total Eucharistic devotion.
Not Me, but God: The Imitation of Christ According to Carlo Acutis is an invitation to walk the same path: to put God first, to see life in the light of eternity, and to let the Eucharist become your "highway to heaven." Anyone who loves Thomas à Kempis's masterwork--or wants to discover it through the eyes of a young saint--will find in this book a doorway to the work that taught Carlo how to become wholly God's.
