London-born boy who died aged 15 to become first millennial saint https:\/\/t.co\/1UTQwPrJSv<\/a><\/p>\n

Move over, Francis of Assisi, you busted ass bitch! There’s a new saint in Catholic town and he’s a MILLENNIAL. <\/p>\n

Blessed Carlo Acutis was born in 1991 in England and later moved to Italy with his wealthy Italian parents (not very holy to be wealthy but ok). He was a whiz kid on the computer (aren’t we all?) and used his skills to make websites for Catholic organizations. He died in October of 2006 at the age of 15. <\/p>\n

To be canonized as a saint in the Catholic church, at least 2 miracles must be be performed after the death of the saint. Acutis’s miracles are as follows:<\/p>\n

First Miracle: <\/b>
A seven-year-old boy from Brazil recovered from a rare pancreatic disorder after coming into contact with one of Acutis\u2019s T-shirts (a holy t-shirt!). A priest had also prayed to Acutis on behalf of the child. Pop Franics approved this miracle attributed to him back in 2020.<\/p>\n

Second Miracle:<\/b>
A Costa Rican woman miraculously recovered from a serious bike accident. From the source: <\/p>\n

Valeria Valverde, 21, underwent an emergency craniotomy to reduce pressure on her brain and her family was told she was in a critical condition, it was reported.<\/p>\n

Her mother went to pray for her daughter\u2019s recovery at the tomb of Acutis in the Umbrian town of Assisi six days later.<\/p>\n

The church said that on the same day, Valverde began to breathe without a ventilator and recovered the use of her upper limbs and her speech.<\/p>\n

She was discharged from intensive care 10 days later and scans showed that the contusion on her brain had disappeared, according to reports.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Acutis is the patron saint of youth and computer programmers! Certainly fitting, but OP thinks the Pope could have made him a patron saint of some more millennial things. <\/p>\n
