Pope Francis has attributed a second miracle to Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager known for using his computer skills to spread the Catholic faith. This recognition clears the way for Acutis to become the first millennial saint. Acutis, who died of leukemia at the age of 15 in 2006, created an online exhibition of Eucharistic miracles and is often referred to as 'God's influencer' and 'patron of the internet.' The Vatican confirmed on May 23, 2024, that Acutis, who was London-born, will be canonized, marking a significant moment for the Catholic Church.
