AGI – Will be proclaimed Blessed on Saturday, October 10 Carlo sharp, born in 1991, died at 15 years of fulminant leukemia. He is the first blessed of the generation of millennial and many already consider him the “pattern” of the Internet.
Born in London on May 3, 1991, where his parents had to work, Carlo grew up in Milan and we always talk about him as a normal child, with habits similar to those of his classmates, who loved to study, play football. and be with others. As a fan of the Internet like his peers, unlike many of them, Carlo was convinced that the Web could become “vehicle of evangelization and catechesis”.
The highway to heaven
As a self-taught child, the boy proves to be a true computer genius. On the web is present (www.miracolieucaristici.org), the virtual exhibition designed and created by him at the age of 14, which travels the world and which testifies to how truly the Eucharist was his “way to heaven”, as he himself defined it.
His particular inclination for religious practices leads him to the 12 years for mass and daily communion. And that’s not all: from the hand of adolescence comes the daily rosary and Eucharistic adoration, convinced as he is that when “you face the sun you get tan … but when you stand before Jesus the Eucharist it becomes holy”.
He was declared Venerable in the summer of 2018.
In the land of San Francesco
Buried in Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, to whom he was very attached, his remains were transferred to the Shrine of the Expoliation on April 6, 2018. And tomorrow in Assisi he will be proclaimed Blessed in the Upper Basilica of Saint Francis.
Pope Francis, in exhortation “Christ is still alive remembering the young saints of the Church “Precious reflections of the young Christ that shine to stimulate us and make us come out of slumber”, he also cites his name. In particular, Francisco takes it as an example to underline its healthy relationship with new technologies. In all “dark and painful” situations there is “a way out. For example – writes the Pope – it is true that the digital world can expose you to the risk of shutting yourself up, isolation or empty pleasure. But don’t forget that there are young people who are creative and sometimes brilliant also in these areas. This is the case of the young Venerable Carlo Acutis ”.
On Saturday in Assisi, more than 3,000 pilgrims are expected for the ceremony presided over by Cardinal Agostino Vallini, papal legate of the Basilicas of San Francisco and Santa Maria degli Angeli. Five squares with maxi screens have been set up and there are almost a hundred accredited journalists. There are also televisions from all over the world, one of them Lebanese, which will follow the live broadcast of the Beatification, broadcast in Italy on Tv2000.
