The Sound of Veneration, A Friendship

Relic of Carlo Acutis, www.carloacutis.com

Yesterday evening, I walked into a moment of veneration of a person named Blessed Carlo Acutis.  He is a friend from Heaven and St. Joseph Catholic Church, Upland, California presented a reliquary of his person for an offering to venerate his friendship in particular with the Holy Eucharist.  As I fell in line, I was excited to meet him.  I had heard his mother's interview on youtube and as I approached the relic with utmost deliverance from outside noise and interruptions with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, I felt his mother present and his person very closely as though they were both actually in the church in adoration of the Eucharist closely united.  However, what was distinct was her son was already in his state of Glory.
