Vatican-Pope Liu fourteenth announced the 15-year-old Catholic Millennium Saint on Sunday, giving the next generation of Catholics a role model in technology to spread faith and win the title of “God’s influence.”
Leo Carlo Akotis, who died in 2006, during an outdoor mass in Saint Peter Square before estimated 80,000 people, many of them are the millennial generation and husbands with young children. During the first saint -making block of Pontificate, Liu also photographed another famous Italian character, a young man, Pierre Georgio Frasati, died.
Liu said that both men invented “masterpieces” of their lives by dedicating them to God.
Liu said in his sermon: “The biggest danger in life is its waste outside the plan of God,” Liu said in his sermon. The new saints “are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to calm our lives, but to direct them up and make them masterpieces.”
An ordinary life has become unusual
ACUTIS was born on May 3, 1991, in London for a wealthy Catholic family but not in particular committed. They moved to Milan shortly after his birth and enjoyed a model and happy childhood, although it is increasingly intense religious dedication.
Acuteis was particularly interested in computer science and devoured college books about programming even when he was a young man. He won the title of “God’s influence”, thanks to its main primary heritage: a multi -language website that proves the so -called Eucharist miracles recognized by the Church, which is the project that it completed at a time when the development of these sites was an area for professionals.
It was known that he was spending hours before the Eucharist every day. The Catholic hierarchy tries to enhance the practice of the Eucharist because most Catholics do not believe that Christ is physically present in the Eucharist hosts.
But Acuteis restricted himself for an hour of video games per week, and it seems that he apparently decides a long time ago that human relations were much more important than virtual. This discipline and self -control proved their attractiveness to the Catholic hierarchy, which appeared to be alert about the dangers of society that is moved by technology today.
In October 2006, at the age of 15, Acuteis disease with what was quickly diagnosed as acute leukemia. Within days, he was dead. He was installed in Asisi, who is known for his association with another famous saint, St. Francis.
Millions flow to the grave of Acuteis
In the years after his death, Catholic youth flocked to millions to Asisi, where they can see the young young man through a glass grave, wearing jeans, Nike shoes and a heavy type shirt. It seems as if he was asleep, and questions have been harnessed about how to keep his body well, especially since parts of his heart toured the world as monuments.
The ceremony was to be held earlier this year, but was postponed after the death of Pope Francis in April. Francis had warned the war of holiness forward, and convinced that the church needed a person like him to attract Catholic youth to faith during the treatment of promises and dangers of the digital age.
“It seems as if I could not be great like Carlo, but I can take care of him and be like,” said Carlo Akotis’s diocese? “
Kalaski said that he is especially excited to bear his name – Pope Liu – he will become the shepherd of his school. “It is a kind of mashed to one thing, so it is a pleasure to be part of it,” Qalasky said in an interview last week.
Most of Actuis’s popularity is thanks to a concerted campaign by the Vatican to give the next generation of believers “Saint Next Door”, which was normal but made unusual things in life. In Acuteis, they found the Millennium Technology Generation-the term used to describe the person born almost between 1981 and 1996, which was the first generation to reach puberty in the new millennium.
The Vatican said that 36 Cardinals, 270 bishops and hundreds of priests have participated to celebrate the Mass with Liu in a sign of the huge attractiveness of the hierarchy of the hierarchy and ordinary believers.
Popular piety of the digital era
An hour before the Mass, St. Peter’s Square was already full with pilgrims, many of them are millennial young people, and many of them with young children in vehicle carts.
“I learned from different people what his professors said about his joy and the light he carried around him,” said Leopoldo Antimi, 27 -year -old Romanian who arrived in the field early. “For me personally as Italian, even on the social networks that are used a lot, it is important to have an influential.”
Matthew North, a professor of religious studies at the Holly Cross College in Woster, Massachusetts, said that ACUTIS’s sanctification extends to the Church’s tradition in popular piety to the digital age.
He said in the statement: “It becomes a slogan or a model for how Catholics deal with the digital world – with discipline with a focus on the traditional Catholic spirituality that challenges the passage of time.” “It is a new saint of simplicity of the complex digital scene ever for contemporary Catholicism.”
Farasati, the other saint, lived on Sunday, from 1901-1925, when he died at the age of 24. He was born in a prominent family in Turin, but he is known for his dedication to the service of the poor and the implementation of charitable works while spreading his belief to his friends.
