Pope Francis Recognizes Miracle, Paving Way for Carlo Acutis' Sainthood
Blessed Carlo Acutis: A Millennial Role Model
On May 23, 2024, Pope Francis recognized the second miracle needed for the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis. This significant step brings Italian-born Carlos, who died of leukemia in 2006, one step closer to becoming a saint.
A Miraculous Intervention
The miracle recognized by the Vatican is attributed to a woman from Costa Rica who was suffering from a severe illness. She prayed for Carlo Acutis' intercession and experienced an inexplicable healing.
This miracle is the second attributed to Acutis since his beatification in 2020. In 2019, a young boy in Brazil was miraculously cured of a rare pancreatic disease after his family prayed to Blessed Carlo.
A Digital Saint for the Modern Era
Carlo Acutis, who died at the age of 15, is considered a role model for millennials. Known as "God's influencer," he used technology to spread the Catholic faith online.
Acutis was a devout Catholic with a deep understanding of technology. He created websites and online exhibitions to share his faith with others.
Legacy of Inspiration
As the potential of Carlo Acutis' canonization draws near, his legacy continues to inspire young people worldwide. His life and teachings remind us of the power of faith, the importance of using technology for good, and the sanctity of life.
