New Miracle Recognized, Paving Way for Canonization
Sainthood Nears for the 'Computer Genius of God'
Preparations are underway for the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager and computer prodigy who passed away from leukemia in 2006. Pope Francis recently recognized a second miracle attributed to him, bringing the young man closer to sainthood.
Miracle in Costa Rica
The recognized miracle involves a woman from Costa Rica who was suffering from an advanced pancreatic hemorrhage. Doctors had given her little hope for recovery, but a relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis was placed near her, and she experienced a miraculous healing.
From Computer Prodigy to Saintly Role Model
Carlo Acutis, known as the "Computer Genius of God," was a devout Catholic who used his technical skills to spread the faith. He created websites and online tools to share the Gospel and encourage others to follow Christ. Despite his illness, he lived a life full of joy and faith, inspiring many around him.
First Millennial Saint
If canonized, Carlo Acutis would become the first saint to be born after the year 2000. His story and his example of faith and service are expected to resonate especially with young people, calling them to embrace their Catholic identity and use their gifts for the greater good.
