0:49Now PlayingPope Francis cleared the way Thursday for an Italian teenager who faithfully cataloged Catholic miracles online before dying in 2006 to become the first millennial saint.
The Vatican attributed a second miracle to Carlo Acutis, who succumbed to leukemia when he was just 15 years old.
Acutis — who was informally known as “God’s influencer” — was responsible for saving the life of a young Costa Rican woman well after his own death, the Vatican announced.
In July 2022, the woman named Valeria suffered severe head trauma after she had fallen from her bicycle in Florence, where she was attending a university, and required intense craniotomy surgery, but doctors had little faith she could recover.
Her desperate mother made the pilgrimage to Acutis’ tomb in Assisi, where his remains are on display, and prayed for her daughter’s recovery.

Her recovery was so quick that she and her mother made a trip back to Assisi the following month to thank him for stepping in.
