October 4, 2020: It is indeed a day to remember and thank God for St. Francis of Assisi, a great man after the heart of the Lord. But the same Assisi, today draws our attention and interest towards another tremendous testimony of sanctity brewing...Venerable. Carlos Acutis, a 15 year old boy, who lived from 1991 to 2006, whose body has been found incorrupt and a miracle reported of healing of a Brazilian child suffering from a rare congenital anatomic disorder of the pancreas in 2013. Now everything is set for the Beatification of Carlos Acutis, to take place on 10th October, yes, coming Saturday!!!
This Saturday (3rd Oct) the Holy Father was at Assisi to sign an encyclical (Fratelli Tutti)... and next saturday again Assisi will be in the limelight for the beatification ceremony to take place in the morning by 10 am.
Carlos Acutis has been described as a Saint in Jeans...and a Saint who was a cyber geek...yes he has created a whole lot of cyber legacy about Eucharistic Miracles and various other Catholic devotions - a lovely example for the youth today who are so attached to the social network!
