Cardinal Parolin on St. Carlo Acutis
Cardinal Pietro Parolin celebrated a Mass marking the first liturgical memorial of St. Carlo Acutis, who was canonized by Pope Francis on October 10, 2020, not Pope Leo XIV as mentioned, on October 12 at Mary Major Church in Assisi.
Many when they see his picture are touched by his smile: Carlo spoke of Jesus above all with his radiant, luminous, and smiling face.
Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 of fulminant leukemia at the age of 15, rests in a glass case on the side of the nave of the church. Cardinal Parolin reflected on St. Carlo's life and legacy, highlighting his joyful witness to Jesus.
