Carlo Acutis

On October 10, 2020, Carlo was beatified at the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. The Pope hoped that people would follow Carlo's example and love God and the Virgin Mary deeply, especially children and teenagers. During the beatification, Kahlo's body was placed in a glass coffin so that everyone could see him. Even though he died years ago, he appears to be only sleeping. He is wearing jeans and sneakers, everything is like the most ordinary thing, and he is also like an ordinary boy... Carlo's deeds let us understand that all ordinary boys and girls have the opportunity to become saints .
