The Vatican recognized, this Thursday, a second miracle to the young Italian Blessed Carlo Acutis, thus bringing his sanctification by the Catholic Church closer.
According to the Vatican News website, Acutis - who died of leukemia on October 12, 2006, the day of Our Lady of Aparecida, at the age of 15 - will have healed a young woman from Costa Rica, after a bicycle accident, in 2022.
Valeria, who was hospitalized with serious injuries, ended up surviving, allegedly after her mother prayed to Acutis at his grave in Assisi, Italy.
Another miracle had already been recognized, on October 12, 2010, in Campo Grande, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, when Acutis allegedly healed a child who touched a relic with his image.
The Vatican, it is worth remembering, beatified Acutis on October 10, 2020. Now, with the recognition of his second miracle, he may be closer to becoming a saint.
This would mean that the young man born in London, United Kingdom, on May 3, 1991, and raised in Milan, Italy, would be the first 'Millennial' saint, that is, born on a date between the beginning of the 1980s and, roughly, the first half of the 1990s.
Carlo Acutis gained notoriety for his evangelization efforts through the Internet, when the tool was still going through its initial phase of popularization. "Since he was little, especially after his first communion, he never missed the daily meeting with the Holy Mass and the Rosary, followed by a moment of Eucharistic adoration", declared his mother, Antonia Acutis, to the Catholic news agency ACI.
