The Rise of a Millennial Saint: Carlo Acutis

Carlo Acutis, the Italian teenager who has been dubbed "God's influencer," is set to become the first millennial saint. Born on May 3, 1991, in London, Acutis was a gifted computer programmer who used his skills to spread the Catholic faith online.

A Life Dedicated to the Eucharist

Acutis was known for his cheerfulness, computer skills, and deep devotion to the Eucharist, which became a core theme of his life. He designed a website documenting Eucharistic miracles and approved Marian apparitions, showcasing his passion for the faith.

A Miraculous Life

In 2006, Acutis passed away from leukemia at the age of 15. However, his legacy lived on, and he was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020. Two miracles attributed to him have been recognized, paving the way for his canonization.

A Role Model for Young People

Carlo Acutis's life serves as an inspiration to young people around the world. His use of digital communication to spread the faith and his devotion to the Eucharist have earned him a special place in the hearts of many. Pope Francis has recognized Acutis as a role model for young people, showcasing the importance of using technology for good.

As the Catholic Church prepares to declare Carlo Acutis a saint, his story serves as a beacon of hope for a new generation of believers.
