00:00 The Vatican says Italian teenager Carlo Acutis, who died of leukemia at the age of 15,
00:06 will be declared a Catholic saint after a miracle is attributed to his intercession.
00:10 It takes one miracle to be beatified and a second to be declared a saint.
00:15 Acutis has a huge following in predominantly Catholic Philippines.
00:19 The Vatican says the miracle that led to his sainthood involves a Costa Rican woman.
00:24 The woman's mother visited Blessed Carlo's tomb in Assisi after her daughter suffered severe head trauma
00:29 with a very low chance of survival.
00:32 That same day, the daughter began to breathe spontaneously, partially regained her speech,
00:37 and a CAT scan later proved hemorrhaging had disappeared.
00:40 A computer programmer who watched Pokemon and played the PlayStation,
00:44 Acutis is touted as a saint for the 21st century and dubbed the first millennial saint.
