Pope Francis has recognised a miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Carlo Acutis and today signed a decree which paves the way for the teenager becoming a saint.
Acutis, who died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15 and has been called “the patron saint of the internet”, had a particular devotion to the Eucharist and one of his projects was an internet site for eucharistic miracles. He inspired many, including his own parents, with his piety, his love of Jesus, and his kindness and generosity.
