Carlo Acutis

Carlo Acutis (3 May 1991 - 12 October 2006) was an Italian Roman Catholic teenager. He was best known for documenting Eucharistic miracles around the world and cataloging them all onto a website that he himself created in the months before his death from leukemia. He was noted for his cheerfulness and for his computer skills as well as for his deep devotion to the Eucharist which became a core theme of his life. The calls for him to be beatified began not long after he died and gained significant momentum in 2013 after the cause commenced and he became titled as a Servant of God - the first stage on the path towards sainthood. Pope Francis declared him to be Venerable on 5 July 2018; the same pope approved a miracle attributed to him which enables for Acutis to be beatified sometime in 2020 in Assisi.
