Following Pope's Approval - Influencer Becomes the First to be Canonized (at 15 Years Old)
### "The Devoted One of God"
This story starts off with a somber note: a 15-year-old boy known as Carlo passed away from cancer in 2006. Just like any other typical teenager, he enjoyed spending time on the computer. However, Carlo used his computer for more than just games; his unwavering faith was also a big part of his life.
From a young age, Carlo maintained a strong bond with God. He utilized social media platforms, including Facebook, to share his fervent devotion to God and maintained a collection of miracles online. For this reason, Carlo earned the title of "Influencer of God."
The Tragic Turn
Tragedy struck as Carlo fell ill with what initially appeared to be a flu-like infection in 2006. Unfortunately, this illness was actually a type of leukemia that led to his death within a week.
The Miracles Begin
At his own request, Carlo's mortal remains were interred in the renowned city of Assisi, home to the famous Saint Francis, who is currently the patron saint of Pope Francis.
His followers kept sharing Carlo's acts of faith on the internet. This is where the first miracle occurred: a sick boy in Brazil reportedly healed from a salivary gland ailment after praying to Carlo.
The second miracle (essential for canonization) is claimed to have transpired in 2022: a badly injured woman allegedly recovered after her mother prayed at the tomb of the "Influencer of God."
These two miracles convinced the Vatican to approve Carlo's admittance into the Catholic community as one of its revered figures.
Carlo now joins the ranks of other prominent Catholic figures, such as Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Nicholas, and Pope John Paul II. And with that, "Saint Carlo" enters the picture.
