Child who was never able to eat solid food asks Carlo Acutis for intercession and then eats all day: the miracle in Brazil that beatified the young Italian
Carlo Acutis was an ordinary young man. He wore jeans and sneakers, loved the internet, rode his bike, played ball and video games. So he proved that a young man can be like anyone else his age and also follow in God's ways without looking like stereotypes created by the media. Being a Christian teenager is being normal, it's right. On the other hand, being an addicted adolescent, rude, promiscuous and/or violent is abnormal, it's the wrong thing. So don't be fooled, because the world is coming with all the force in this generation trying to reverse values by calling right wrong and wrong.
Love for others
After he died, at the age of 15, a crowd began to appear at his funeral, even puzzling his parents. Everyone in the neighborhoods around his residence were going to see him and say his last goodbye. But it was simple the reason. He was very dear to all, for he was always willing to help and bring the word of God to the residents. Seeing that someone needed Christian guidance, he was not intimidated: he would stop his bicycle by his side and already tell him about Jesus, his teachings and commandments. And they were for everyone: homeless people, sidewalk workers, in the building's concierges, in commerce, without distinctions!
He fed them from the word of God but also the body with food and clothing. He often brought coffee and clothes from home to homeless people or shelters, just as he even ate only half of his plate of food to give the other half to some in need nearby. So being just a teenager, he shared everything he had and was in his hands at that moment. Even though his family was of good purchasing power, he was not exalted. For example: once his mother wanted to buy him a new shoe, because his was too old, but he replied that there were others who had none, it was better to buy and donate to them!
The spreading of the Eucharist and the saints
Carlo was a teenager in the phase of great expansion of the internet in the world. And from an early age he took a fascination with computing, being even considered a genius in the area by some. He soon realized the immense potential of the Internet as a tool in evangelization. Unlike many, i did not use the internet to see what is wrong, but rather the correct and to do good. Your computer was examined (perhaps for the needs of the sanctification process) and not a single trail of access to websites containing inappropriate or immoral content was found.
The Eucharist was the center of his life: "my highway to Paradise," as he always said. He often went to masses and received holy communion. When, then, he learned of the Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano (READ CLICKING HERE), he was amazed to see the host to this day still in blood and flesh. He soon decided that he needed to spread the Eucharistic miracles that take place around the world, for many of them were not even documented and everyone should know of this fascinating divine prodigy. He literally took his parents by the arms to drive him around Europe to photograph and document Eucharistic miracles still without physical or digital records.
Throughout this journey he was creating a website for publication and dissemination of miracles, which today is an immense success (CLICK HERE TO ACCESS). He used to say that if God went to the trouble of doing a Eucharistic miracle, we as his creation have a duty to contemplate the miracle!!! He also studied the lives of the saints and their "specialties" of intercession to always indicate to which saint a person with a certain problem should pray for his intercession with God.
He was therefore known as "cyberapostles of the Eucharist", "apostle of millennials" and "patron saint of the Internet". His actions, for example, motivated the creation of this site and social networks to spread all miracles of God, with or without intercession of the saints (thank you Carlo!).
The miracle of his beatifition
The boy Matheus, born in the city of Campo Grande in 2010, until his three-year-old suffered from a rare congenital disease called annular pancreas. The boy's organ was divided into two parts, just as he was in the wrong place, hanging his stomach. This malformation did not allow him to feed on solid foods, only liquids, because he vomited everything he ate, leaving him in a rickety state of weight.
The family had already been deceived by the doctors. You had to go through a serious surgery or you wouldn't survive another year. But to go through this operation had to gain weight or die during the procedure. But how did you just throw up? I just lost weight instead of winning.
But little did the family know that divine providence was already in their way. The priest of the Parish of St. Sebastian, named Marcelo Tenório, became a friend of the Italian family of Carlo Acutis and said in one of the masses that attended that those who needed a miracle, asked for the intercession of the young Carlo Acutis because he still needed to perform miracles to be beatified and sanctified.
The child's mother began to pray to the young Italian who still knew little. Until the priest brought from a trip of his to Italy a piece of carlo's shirt and took him to the celebration of the blessing of October 12 - the same day as the patron saint of Brazil, Our Lady of Aparecida, and the death of Carlo by leukemia in 2006.
As he approached the relic at Mass, the boy himself on his grandfather's lap held out his hands to play and asked Carlo Acutis:
"Stop throwing up."
The mother thought he would ask for a toy, but she understood that the fact that the child himself asked for his cure was fundamental to achieving the miracle. She reports on what happened when they got home:
"He said he wanted to eat. I thought of some fruit or a loaf of bread. He said no! I'd like some food! And he ate a plate of adult food... And he wanted more, ate more... I started crying because you ate all that and didn't throw up. And I had to serve him more food. He ate all day!"
About four months later clinical examinations were performed on the boy and found what was impossible for medicine: the pancreas was normal. These examinations were essential for the beginning of Carlo Acutis' beatification by the Vatican, in which they then exuded his body as is tradition in the processes of sanctification. What was expected happened: his body was miraculously incorrupt, even dead 13 years ago. On October 10, 2010 he was recognized as a beato by the Catholic Church.
