L’Eglise catholique canonise Carlos Acutis : À 15 ans, il devient le premier saint du XXIe siècle
An internet enthusiast who died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, Carlos Acutis was canonized on Sunday, September 7, becoming the first Catholic saint to have lived in the 21st century. His canonization was officially proclaimed by Pope Leo XIV in front of St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.
Nicknamed the "God geek," this teenager of Italian origin, born in London in 1991, had made it his mission to make Christ known through digital technology.
Born into a non-practicing family, Carlos developed a strong and precocious faith from an early age. He attends Mass daily and devotes his computer skills to creating websites dedicated to Eucharistic miracles and online evangelization.
Beatified in 2020, his body now rests in Assisi, in a sanctuary where he is exposed dressed in his everyday clothes: jeans, sneakers and sports jacket, an image of the teenager he was.
More than 80,000 faithful gathered at the Vatican to witness his official canonization. Two miracles were attributed to him, a prerequisite for this recognition: the healing of a Brazilian child suffering from a rare pancreatic malformation and of a seriously injured Costa Rican student.
In 2024, nearly a million pilgrims visited his tomb, testifying to the growing fervor aroused by this young saint with an exceptional career and resolutely anchored in his time.

Ma grand mère était une Sainte,
Comme il leur est facie de Cannoniser les leurs. Les Sereres avaient cette même possibilité avec leur religion traditionnelle ceddo. Ils avaient des Pangols, ces etres qui avaient faits de belles actions et realisitions de leur vivant.
Maintenant, le Serere depend d'autres religions et n'a plus aucune possibilite de tirer oar les ficelles. C'est comme si tu deleguais tous tes pouvoirs à d'autres et se retrouvent comme figurant....
Ps: Seneweb, vous supprimez mes posts. Ce n'est que de l'eveil de consciences...comme vous voulez!
Saint Carlos, priez pour nous et accompagne nous ! AMEN...
Une tombe où on expose le corps du défunt pour toujours ?
