WELCOME TO IHET’S BIRTHDAY EDITION! AGE IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER THAT CELEBRATES LIFE,
MY COMMUNITY
OUR MILLENNIAL SAINT FOR ALL AGES
Saint Carlo Acutis is the most recent addition to God’s universal call to the sainthood and to holiness. Indeed, age and generation are not barriers for many who are called and for a few chosen to belong to Christ's cavalry of martyrs and saints. Carlo was born on 3 May 1991 and died of leukaemia on the 12 October 2006 at a youthful age of 15. He was a devout Catholic who prayed the Holy Rosary and revered the Holy Eucharist as the centre of his daily devotion. He documented many Eucharistic miracles and made them known to the world through a website he created before his death,
As a result of a miracle attributed to his name, Carlo was beatified on the way to sainthood on the 10th of October 2020 at the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi in Italy. His canonisation was originally scheduled for the 27th of April 2025 during the Jubilee for Young People. But because of the demise of our Holy Father Pope Francis on the 21st of April 2025, Carlo was canonised as a saint by Pope Leo XIV on the 7th of September 2025 alongside Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati.
Saint Carlo will truly be the first millennial saint of this generation. He is now affectionately and fondly called the "patron saint of the internet" and "God's influencer".
IHET joyfully welcomes Saint Carlo to the cohort of saints and martyrs who have glorified God above all else. With gladness, we thank the Lord for this gift. Learn more from his official website.
MY PRAYER
OUR CALL TO PRAYER
IHET continues to implore and gather the human collective consciousness to prayer with the vision of fostering spiritual renewal and global social change. We are advocating for and invoking the faithful to raise their voices and lift their hearts to God in prayer.
Pray ... pray ... pray!
IHET invites believers and non-believers to pray for healing in the peak of many global events where God no longer exists, or if not, where there is a lesser god in our midst. We envision to bring together prayer warriors from all over the world to heed the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Fátima in emancipating humankind from the control of many‘disguised demons and delivering the world from evil. With many of our churches now open for public access and in full force post-pandemic, we return not with a vengeance but in a spirit of love and compassion. We plead your support in this mission by praying the Holy Rosary everyday and asking our Blessed Mother Mary to intercede for us in our present sufferings and ongoing life’s vicissitudes brought about by geopolitical tensions, global conflicts and wars, graft and corruption, economic and financial crises as well as extreme weather events and natural disasters. Human challenges and struggles in our world today are multitude and never-ending. We need God even more in these difficult times.
Draw inspiration and keep your hopes high from IHET's pilgrimage to, as well as spiritual retreats at, the Marian sanctuaries in Lourdes (France) and in Fátima (Portugal).
MY GIFT
OUR GIFT OF LOVE
IHET shares the life-giving gift unwrapped and unveiled from the "anti-mindfulness mindfulness mission" of their daughter. Please share this gift of love to your friends, family and community.
Meditation and mindfulness are two different concepts that embody the human need to look after ourselves and our mental well-being. Despite the marked differences, they are interrelated and intertwined in our pursuit for inner peace and true happiness.
Trish, a beloved daughter of IHET, is an experienced meditation teacher accredited by and registered with the Meditation Association of Australia. Her non-prescriptive, person-centered and religion-free technique amplifies self-regulation and epitomises simplicity in creating daily meditative routines and spaces for personal health and well-being. Learn from her refreshing and reinvigorated Mindful Makers and Doers Club projects for insights and practical tools in mindful living and being. This new brand is a spin-off from her original conceptualisation of the Anti-Mindfulness Mindfulness Club (AMMC). Trish is currently working on her law degree and sourcing ground-breaking ideas on how to connect her cultural heritage as a Filipino with her inclusive self-help vision.
Keep up with your good work and mission Trish! IHET is truly grateful for the simple joys you bring to people's lives and the life-giving insights you extend to those who need self-care support.
