Carlo Acutis, who died of leukemia at the age of 15 in 2006, was beaten on Saturday in the Italian city of ACC.
Bitification is an excellent step in the process of consecration, and it means that the candidate is identified as “blessed”, and a miracle is confirmed in his or her name.
Canonization requires another miracle, the formal act of declaring someone a saint.
The Vatican said the teenager used her taste for technology to create a website that explored the history of Eucharistic miracles, which has been used by more than 10,000 parishioners around the world, the Vatican said.
According to the Vatican, Acutis was religious from an early age, even though his mother had been in the mass only “three times in his life.”
The Vatican said Acutis was born in London to Italian parents before the family moved to Milan, the Vatican said.
Described by the Vatican as a “computer genius with a love for the Eucharist,” Acutis is believed to be the youngest contemporary to be psyched.
