Pope Francis Recognizes Second Miracle Needed for Canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis
Italian Teenager Known as 'God's Computer Genius'
Vatican City, May 23, 2024
Pope Francis has recognized the second miracle required for the canonization of Italian Blessed Carlo Acutis, who died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15.
The miracle involves a young man from Brazil who was cured of a serious heart condition after praying to Carlo Acutis. The cure was declared inexplicable by doctors, who had given the young man little chance of survival.
Carlo Acutis is known for his deep faith and his innovative use of technology to spread the Gospel. He was a skilled programmer and web designer, and he created several websites dedicated to sharing his love of Jesus and the Catholic Church.
Carlo's life is a powerful example of how young people can use their talents and abilities to make a positive impact on the world. He showed that even in the face of serious illness, it is possible to live a life of faith and purpose.
The recognition of the second miracle is a significant step towards Carlo Acutis' canonization. The Pope's decision will be formally announced at a later date, and Carlo will then become the youngest saint in the Catholic Church since 1959.
