Blessed Carlo Acutis │ The Millennial Saint

  

Quite by accident I discovered Blessed Carlo Acutis.  Here is his story: Blessed Carlo Acutis was born on May 3, 1991 in London, United Kingdom, and died on October 12, 2006 (aged 15), Monza, Italy.  His cause of death was acute promyelocytic leukemia.  He was Beatified by Pope Francis on October 10, 2020, two days before the 14th anniversary of his death.  He is on track to becoming a saint in the Roman Catholic Church.  Carlo is the first saint to be buried in Nike sneakers, jeans, and a North Sails track suit jacket.  He is presented as a role model for youth, a saint of the ordinary, and also a possible patron saint for IT workers.  As a side note, Carlo loved the PlayStation.  "Carlo puts flesh on what a saint who plays video games and goes on the internet looks like."  Carlo, has been dubbed “the Millennial Saint” and “the patron of the Internet".  Below are some interesting videos of him.  It is interesting that there is a live feed from the chapel where his coffin is.  People can view him through a glass window in the side of his coffin. There is a link below for that. His body is largely incorrupt.  Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
