Carlo Acutis was born in London in 1991 to Italian parents. He was raised in Milan, Italy, and was a devout Catholic from a young age. He received his First Communion at the age of 7 and was confirmed at the age of 9. Acutis was a bright and talented young man who excelled in his studies. He was also a gifted computer programmer and created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles around the world.
In 2006, Acutis was diagnosed with leukemia. He died of the disease on October 12, 2006, at the age of 15. Acutis's death was a great loss to his family and friends. He was a beloved son, brother, and friend. He was also a role model for young people, showing them that it is possible to live a life of faith and service to others.
In 2013, Acutis's cause for canonization was opened by the Catholic Church. In 2019, he was declared "Venerable" by Pope Francis. In 2020, the Vatican announced that a miracle had been attributed to Acutis's intercession. This miracle involved the healing of a boy who was suffering from a rare and life-threatening illness.
Acutis is now set to be canonized by the Catholic Church. He will be the first millennial to be declared a saint. Acutis's canonization is a testament to the power of faith and the importance of living a life of service to others.
