A youth blog probably isn’t where you’d expect to find the next Mother Teresa, but it’s where Carlo Acutis – soon to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint – is is made a name documenting miracles.
The Holy See said On Thursday, Pope Francis recognized a second miracle linked to Acutis, paving the way for his canonization – the final step in a process that can sometimes take decades. This will place the online evangelist – who died in 2006 of leukemia at the age of 15 – among the thousands of saints recognized by the Church…
Born in London in 1991, Acutis gained a following for his piety and meticulous research into miracles, which he published online. A Catholic publication dubbed it “God’s influencer“, while another site describe him as a teenager with a “strong faith and a weakness for Nutella”. Vatican News wrote that he loved football, video games and was a “natural prankster.”
Here is the complete story.
