A Teenager Set To Become Catholic Church’s First Millennial Saint

Carlo Acutis, an Italian teen and a Computer wonder who acquired the epithet “God’s Influencer” to be reckoned with, is set to become the Catholic Church’s First millennial holy person.

Pope Francis has perceived a second miracle attributed to Acutis, a gamer and software engineer who passed on from leukemia in 2006 at age 15.

During his life, Acutis used his innovative talent to spread awareness of the Catholic faith, including setting up a website documenting miracles.

Acutis was born in London 1991, but later moved to Milan, Italy with his loved ones. In spite of the fact that Acutis’ parents were not religious, the little fellow’s faith was nurtured by his Polish babysitter. After his demise, his body was moved to the Italian town of Assisi, where it is currently shown in a hallowed place, close by other relics connected to him.

Jozef and Wiktoria Ulma were a Polish Catholic couple who heroically sheltered Polish Jewish families in their home during the Nazi German occupation in World War II.

Despite the risk, they hid eight Jews, but were eventually betrayed, leading to their arrest and execution, along with their six children and the hidden refugees.

Prospective candidates for sainthood normally need to have two miracles attributed to them before they can be canonized.

The latest miracle attributed to Acutis relates to the reported healing of a girl from Costa Rica who had suffered a head trauma after falling from her bicycle in Florence, Italy, where she was studying. Her mother said she prayed for her daughter’s recovery at the tomb of Acutis in Assisi.

Acutis was beatified and declared “blessed” after his first miracle in 2020, when he reportedly healed a Brazilian boy who had a birth defect in his pancreas that left him unable to eat food normally.

Following the attribution of two miracles, the next step is for the Pope to convene a meeting of cardinals to agree on Acutis’ sainthood and decide on a date for the canonization.

His story is seen as helpful for the Catholic Church as it seeks to connect better with younger generations in a digital age.

Acutis – considered a millennial as he was born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s – is remembered by friends and family as enjoying playing video games such as Halo, Super Mario and Pokémon.
