Pope Francis Recognizes Second Miracle for Canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis
Canonization Process Advanced
On May 23, 2024, Pope Francis recognized the second miracle attributed to Blessed Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager who died of leukemia in 2006.
The Miracle
The miracle recognized by the Pope is related to a woman from Costa Rica who experienced unexplainable healing after praying to Acutis for intercession. The woman had been suffering from a life-threatening illness and was reportedly cured through Acutis' intercession.
Canonization Path
With the recognition of two miracles attributed to Acutis, the Catholic Church can now proceed with his canonization. The first miracle was recognized in 2020, which paved the way for Acutis' beatification in 2021.
Pope Francis has not yet announced a date for Acutis' canonization, but the recognition of the second miracle brings him closer to sainthood. Once canonized, Acutis will become Saint Carlo Acutis, a role model for young people and a symbol of faith and hope.
Acutis was known for his deep faith, his dedication to the Eucharist, and his love for technology. He was also an advocate for the poor and the marginalized. His canonization will inspire the faithful to live a life of holiness and to use their talents to make a positive impact on the world.
