Pope Leon XIVdeclared santo today, Sunday, Carlo Acutis, in St. Peter's Square.
In fact, Pope Leon has been named a Holy Man who has lived in the 21st century Acutis. He is thus the first Millennial Saint.
As soon as dawn dawned, people were waiting in St. Peter's Square, a source of inspiration for young Catholics, who spread their faith on the Internet, known as the patron of the network, but who died of leukemia at the age of 15.
According to his mother, he was an ordinary boy who opened his heart to Jesus, even though for the Church it was "something else."
While Acutis was alive, he had cured a four-year-old boy of his pancreatic disease, and once dead, a mother prayed to him before his body, and his dying daughter was also unharmed by a blow to the skull.
