From London baptism to first millennial saint

BBCA London -born child will be the first thousand -year -old saint with a ceremony sank in an old ritual by Pope Leo on Sunday.
In his short life, Carlo Acutis created the websites documenting “miracles” as a means of spreading Catholic teaching, and some of them named God’s impressive.
The canonization was expected in late April, but was postponed after Pope Francis’s death.
It is estimated that more than one million people are protected by wax to the Italian Hill town Assisi, where Carlo’s body is located.
However, in relation to Carlo Acutis, the Dolours Lady Church in London – Saint Our Lady of Dolours Church has an increase in visitors since it has been announced.
The font behind the Roman Catholic Church in the Chelsea region was where Carlo was baptized in 1991 as a baby.
Next to the church, an old confession cabin was transformed into a tomb. It contains a single thread of Carlo’s hair, a residual owner.
“The family was in finance and they really worked temporarily in London,” Father Paul Addison, a friend in the church.
“Even though they didn’t use the church too much, they decided to come and ask the child to be baptized. So Carlo, a flash in the life of the community community, was a very big flash.”

Carlo was not six months old when his family returned to their country, and spent the rest of his life in Milan.
There, he was known for his love of technology and is said to enjoy playing video games.
Some of those who recognize Carlo Acutis said it doesn’t look religious, especially as a young man, the pages have now created a framed website in the church in Chelsea.

But only 15 years old died of leukemia.
In the years after his death, Carlo’s mother Antonia Salzano visited churches around the world to defend a saint.
As a part of the process, he had to prove that his son did “miracles”.
“The first miracle, the funeral day,” Carlo’s mother says.
“A woman with breast cancer prayed for Carlo and had to start chemotherapy, and the cancer disappeared completely.”

Pope Francis attributed two miracles to Carlo Acutis, so the test passed and a saint was going to be held on April 27th.
But Pope Francis died for the previous week.
Some followers traveling to Rome for canonization found themselves between tens of thousands of mourning at the funeral of Pontiff – Diego Sargissian, a young Catholic from London, was one of them.
He says he feels a connection with Carlo Acutis and is excited about his canonization.
“He used to play Super Mario video games on the old Nintendo consoles and always liked video games on his old Nintendo consoles.”
“The truth that you can think of a saint who does the same things [as you]Wearing jeans, it makes you feel much closer to how other saints felt in the past. “
Approval for someone to be a saints may last for decades or centuries, but Carlo Acutis’s canonization, which the Vatican watched fast, has a sense of energy to give and inspire young people.
The Catholic Church hopes that the events of Sunday will do so.
