Pope Francis has attributed a second miracle to Italian teenager Carlo Acutis, who died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15. Acutis, known as 'God's influencer' for using his computer skills to spread the Catholic faith, is set to become the first saint of the millennial generation. The Vatican confirmed on Thursday, May 23, that Acutis will be declared a Catholic saint after a miracle was attributed to his intercession. Acutis, a web developer, created an online exhibition of Eucharistic miracles.
