The ceremony on September 7 will be the first canonization, which is led by Pope Leo, the first American Pope. Acutis, known as "God’s Influencer", has won a strong supporter among young Catholics and beyond. The Italian born in Great Britain, who had a passion for video games, is often portrayed with jeans and sneakers and is a tangible figure for the new generation of Catholics.
growing interest in Catholic faith
The canonization takes place at a time when current surveys in the United Kingdom and in the United States show growing interest in Catholicism under Generation Z. The process for cancellation usually requires that the candidates have proven two miracles, with each supernatural event being thoroughly examined. In May, Pope Francis recognized a second miracle that was attributed to acutis - a decision that paved the way for the canonization of the teenager.
miracle and faith
acutis was beatified in 2020 after the first miracle was attributed to him in which he helped a Brazilian boy with a birth defect, so that he could eat normally again. The boy was supposedly healed after his mother prayed to ask Acutis for help.
appeal to charity
The second miracle that acutis is attributed concerns the healing of a girl from Costa Rica, which suffered head trauma in Florence, Italy, after a bicycle accident. Her mother prayed at the grave of Acutis in Assisi for the recovery of her daughter.
