Who Fought for Carlo Acutis to be Declared a Saint?

About this sermon

Carlo Acutis, the young Italian teenager who died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of fifteen, continues to inspire people around the world with his love for the Eucharist, his devotion to the Virgin Mary, and his creative use of modern technology to spread the Gospel. Known as a “computer genius,” he built websites and curated a worldwide exhibition on Eucharistic miracles—all while living a life of deep faith rooted in the ordinary joys of youth. As the Church prepares to recognize him among the saints, his witness offers both a model and a challenge: to live holiness in the everyday, to use technology for good, and to keep Christ at the center of life. In this conversation, Andreas Thonhauser, Vice President and Chief Global Officer of EWTN, speaks with Nicola Gori, the postulator of Carlo Acutis’ cause for canonization. Together, they reflect on Carlo’s spirituality, his normal teenage life, and the enduring legacy of this soon-to-be saint for the Church today.
