The beatification was announced after the Church recognized what it considers a miracle performed by Acutis on a boy in Brazil. (Look down)
Carlo Acutis died of leukemia at the age of 15, in Monza, Italy, on October 12, 2006. He was declared “venerable” on July 5, 2018. Almost a year later, his remains were transferred to Assisi, where he was beatified. Saturday.

The date for the celebration of the young blessed becomes October 12 °, the same date that is celebrated on the Day of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, Patroness of Brazil.

“Before he died, when asked if he wasn’t sad about dying young, [Acutis] He replied, ‘No, because I didn’t waste a minute of my life doing things that don’t please God.’ In other words, for Carlos, pleasing God means having a full life. Not pleasing God means wasting life ”, said in the publication the Capuchin friar Carlos Acácio Gonçalves Ferreira, rector of the Sanctuary of Dispossession in Assisi, where the young man is buried.
The blessed teenager, who loved to play soccer, video games, and eat Nutella and ice cream, devoted much of his life to virtual catechism and creating online networks to connect more than 10,000 parishes.
The son of Italian parents, Carlo Acutis was born in London in 1991, but soon moved with his family to Italy.

In Milan, as a teenager, Acutis created a website dedicated to the careful cataloging of every miracle already reported in the Church and to evangelize, hence the title “patron of the Internet.”
Antonia Salzano, mother of the blessed, told the Vatican website that the young man, “with a relatively obsolete computer, managed to reach thousands of people on all continents” thanks to his personality and the way in which he communicated his faith.
The bishop of Assisi, Domenico Sorrentino, affirms that the new blessed exercises today “a similar attraction” to that of San Francisco de Asis in your time.
“In Assisi, we are used to the charm of San Francisco, which attracts millions of visitors and many devotees. But that a boy who died at the age of 15 in 2006 is already so influential is something that can only be explained by supernatural reasons. The attraction that Carlo’s exercise is, in a way, similar to that of Francisco de Assis, ”the priest told the Italian media.
“All men are born original, but many die as photocopies, do not let that happen to you!”, Recommended his generation Acutis, who knew how to reach thousands of people around the world with their young language through the internet.
The path to the beatification of Acutis appeared in 2013, when the family of a boy from Mato Grosso do Sul claimed that the boy was cured of a serious illness after touching a relic of the blessed, an outfit that contained Carlo’s blood.

The relic is in a parish in Campo Grande, commanded by Father Marcelo Tenório, who performs Masses for the Blessed every October 12.
“The girl, I remember well, had growth retardation and annular problems of the pancreas. She did not eat anything, did not ingest either solids or liquids and she was cured shortly after,” Father Marcelo Tenório told G1.
Beatification is the first step to become a saint of the Church, for which it is necessary to have interceded two miracles.
The young man is considered by Pope Francis “brilliant” and “creative”, an example for the new generations.
“It is true that the digital world can expose you to the risk of withdrawal, isolation or empty pleasure. But we must not forget that in this environment there are young people who are also creative and, sometimes, brilliant,” wrote Pope Francis, giving Carlo as an example. Acutis.
