Carlo Acutis, Role Model for Youth, to Become Saint
Beatification of Teenager Who Used the Internet for Good Announced
Canonization Process Moves Forward
CITTÀ DEL VATICANO, Oct. 12 -- Pope Francis has recognized the second of two miracles necessary for the canonization of Italian Blessed Carlo Acutis, a teenager who died of leukemia in 2006. Acutis, who was born in London, England, and spent his life in Italy, was known for his devout Catholic faith and his use of the internet to spread the Eucharistic messages.
When Acutis died at the age of 15, his life had already touched many people. He had been diagnosed with leukemia just a few months earlier, and his illness had progressed rapidly. But throughout his ordeal, Acutis remained positive and hopeful, offering comfort and support to his family and friends. He was a true example of Christian virtue, and his life has inspired countless people around the world.
Acutis's beatification is a testament to his holy life and the power of his intercession. It is also a sign of hope for young people everywhere, showing them that even in the face of adversity, they can live lives of faith and make a difference in the world.
