The first miracle of the blessed, which will be canonized by the Church, was assigned to the child Grosso South-Mato Grosso
A few days of canonization of Carlo Acutis Catholic Church is facing a dilemma that combines faith and an illegal market. Last month, the bishop of Domenico Sorrentino from the diocese of Assisi in Italy in Central Italy tried to sell the sales of internet relics attributed to the young blessed, whose first recognized miracle was the south-mato Grosso Boy.
According to the diocese of Assisi, where the body of a young man is buried online platforms, announces that hair strands and fragments of fabrics allegedly related to blessed, with prices exceeding EUR 2,000. The church classified this practice as a “serious violation” and confirmed that the sale of relics is strictly prohibited.
In a statement, the diocese stated that relics are cultural and spiritual expressions of Catholic devotion, works of symbolic and holy value, intended for public and private leadership. That is why marketing violates religious significance and transforms the object of faith into a consumer product.
The consecration of Acutis as a saint was powered by a miracle recognized by the Vatican, which took place in Mato Grosso to Sul.
When he was only 3 years old, Matheus Lins Vianna, currently 15, was healed from a rare state called the ring pancreas. The disease prevented a proper diet and caused constant vomiting.
According to doctors, the situation was delicate and the operation was not recommended because of the boy’s fragility. In the face of gravity, the family intensified prayers and inspired by the devotion to the young blessed Carlo Acutis, began the novena asking for his intercession.
On the day on which the relic of Carlo Acutis was issued to visit in the São Sebastião parish in Matheus, still small, surprised to everyone, spontaneously playing a relic and saying that he wants to stop dimensioning. A honest and faithful request immediately answered.
“That night he ordered food and ate bean broth with rice. He did not vomit anymore. He began to gain weight. Then we took the doctor and rejected the exams. The pancreas was perfect,” recalls teen grandmother, Solange Maria Vianna.
Carlo Acutis, killed at the age of 15 in 2006, became known for combining spirituality and technology. The Italian teenager, admirer of the Eucharist, created a website to publish documented miracles in various parts of the world, a kind of virtual catalog of faith.
His trajectory became a symbol of evangelization in the digital universe, which brought him the informal title of “Internet patron”. The blessed canonization will take place 27.
