Carlo Acutis & Pier Giorgio Frassati Set for Canonization in 2025 Jubilee | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis announced the Vatican Summit for Rights of Children and upcoming canonizations. At his weekly talk, the Holy Father read aloud a letter sent to him by a Ukrainian student to mark the 1,000th day of war in the country, and announced that the Vatican will host a world meeting on children's rights in February. The pope also revealed the canonization of 2 young soon-to-be-saints, Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, during the Jubilee year. Vice President and Editorial Director for EWTN News, Dr. Matthew Bunson, joins to share what the reaction has been to the dates being finalized. Dr. Bunson reminds us why these 2 soon-to-be-saints are so beloved, especially to young people. For Pier Giorgio Frassati, the details of his second miracle have not yet been released. It is unusual for a Canonization Mass to be set before more is known about a miracle. Dr. Bunson paints a picture for us of these 2 canonizations, especially Blessed Carlo Acutis. He discusses how many people he thinks will be in Rome and what sort of crowd is typical for a Canonization Mass. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
