About Carlo Acutis in brief
Carlo Acutis was an English-born Italian Catholic youth and amateur computer programmer. He is best known for documenting Eucharistic miracles around the world and cataloguing them onto a website that he created before his death from leukemia. He was noted for his cheerfulness, computer skills, and deep devotion to the Eucharist, which becomes a core theme of his life. The campaign gained momentum in 2013 after he was named a Servant of God, the first stage on the path towards sainthood. The call for him to be beatified began not long after his death and he will be canonised on 10 October 2020. He died on 12 October 2006 at 6: 45 AM from M3 fulminant leukemia.
His mother, Antonia, is said to attribute to his intercession the fact that, at the age of 44, she gave birth to twins, born exactly four years to the day of his death. In memory of AcutIs, bishops have helped organize a travelling photo exhibition of his work. It has since travelled to dozens of different countries across five continents. The Lombardy Episcopal Conference approved the official cause for his canonization in 2013, with Cardinal Angelo Scola inaugurating the process on November 24, 2016. The Catholic Church’s recognition of a miracle in 2020, attributed to AcUTis, will not only see him beatified but also canonised a saint.
