From Forums of the Virgin Mary [translated]:
Revelations and Apparitions of Padre Pio and Saint Francis of Assisi.
In a world where the innocence of our young people is being threatened like never before, a glimmer of hope emerges.
A sudden 15-year-old saint, Carlo Acutis, has appeared.
Here we will talk about the supernatural events that surrounded the life of Carlo Acutis, which are little known.
You will discover how his faith led him to become a “cyber-apostle” of the Eucharist.
You will witness the radical conversion of his family and how it was interceded in by Padre Pio.
And finally, you will learn about the messages that Carlo Acutis has sent from Heaven through his mother.
And those that she has been receiving from Saint Francis of Assisi, about the plan that Heaven has for young people.
Blessed Carlo Acutis left this world in 2006, at only 15 years old, due to fulminant leukemia.
Despite his young age, his impact on the world and on spirituality has been immense.
Born in 1991, at the time of the launch of the internet, Carlo Acutis is considered the patron saint of the internet, as he was the first saint to have a Facebook profile.
He helped the poor, promoted Eucharistic miracles, and offered his suffering with these words: “I offer all the sufferings that I will have to suffer for the Lord, for the Pope and for the Church, and the conversion of sinners.”
His cause for canonization was sudden, beginning in 2013. He was declared “Venerable” in 2018 and proclaimed “Blessed” on October 10, 2020, in Assisi, Italy.
Carlo was a child prodigy; at three months he was already talking and at four writing and reading.
He was three years old and wanted to be in front of the tabernacle and in front of the Cross, even though his parents were Catholics only in name.
Antonia Salzano, his mother, said that before Carlo, she went to Mass very occasionally.
However, Carlo loved to pray the Rosary.
And after making his First Communion, he went to Mass as often as he could, did Holy Hours, and confessed weekly.
He asked his parents to take him on pilgrimages to the places of saints and Eucharistic miracles.
And Carlo’s testimony of faith managed to drag his parents to daily Mass.
Carlo was very devoted to the Eucharist because of the devotion he saw in Padre Pio.
His devotion to the guardian angel and the souls in purgatory had the same source.
And at his young age, he created a traveling exhibition, which today goes all over the world, showing the Eucharistic Miracles.
In the last days of his earthly life, his mother suggested that he ask Jesus to perform Eucharistic miracles similar to that of Lanciano, so that the Presence of Jesus in the consecrated Host would be evident to all.
And ten days after his death, the Eucharistic miracle occurred in Tixtla, Mexico.
And shortly after, two more Eucharistic miracles were reported in Poland (Sokólka and Legnica). [scroll for more:]
The studies showed that the consecrated Hosts had been transformed into human heart tissue in all three cases.
Carlo’s mother, Antonia Salzano, has said that she began having prophecies about what would happen to Carlo when she was pregnant with him.
Some of these include that Carlo would be a holy child, die young, and be beatified.
And she related a dream from the night of October 3 to 4, 2006.
When Carlo began to feel the first signs of the disease, his mother slept with him.
That night, she dreamed that she was in church with Saint Francis of Assisi, and when she looked at the ceiling, she noticed the image of her son.
She saw Carlo dressed in white with a halo around his head.
At that moment, Saint Francis looked at her and announced that Carlo would become important to the Church. She guessed that maybe he would be a priest.
The next night, before falling asleep next to her son praying the Rosary, half asleep, she heard a voice repeating, “Carlo is dying,” but she didn’t give it any importance and continued sleeping.
And on Saturday, October 7, she was able to clearly see Padre Pio in her dreams, telling her to “get up; your son is sick.”
She went to see Carlo and found that he was indeed sick and had a fever, and he was hospitalized in a clinic in Monza.
An aunt of Antonia Salzano was the spiritual daughter of Padre Pio, and when she went to see him, she told him that her niece had been born and asked him to pray for her.
And Padre Pio said, “I bless her, I bless her” (naturally, from a distance).
And it is clear that this blessing was for the entire family, because this niece’s son, Carlo Acutis, had a very unusual conversion, and then so did she, her husband, and the entire family.
Carlo was a great devotee of Padre Pio; he visited San Giovanni Rotondo several times and liked to go to Monte Sant Angelo, where Archangel Michael appeared four times in history.
But also on June 16, 1998, Carlo Acutis made his first Communion, precisely the same day that four years later, in 2002, Padre Pio was canonized in the largest canonization ceremony in the entire history of the Church.
The miracle for the beatification of Carlo Acutis happened on October 12, 2013, in the Brazilian church of San Sebastiano.
A blessing was taking place with a relic of Carlo Acutis.
And during this ceremony, Matías, a six-year-old boy who suffered from annular pancreas, which prevented him from eating and drinking normally and threatened his life, was suddenly healed.
When it was his turn to touch the relic of Carlo Acutis, his grandfather suggested that he ask for forgiveness, and Matías did so.
And unexpectedly, the little boy stopped vomiting after eating, and subsequent examinations revealed that the malformation of the child’s pancreas had completely disappeared, and he had recovered all his functions.
The miracles, through the intercession of Carlo Acutis, continued, and there are several that are being studied for his cause of canonization.
When Carlo was about to die, his mother told him, give me a sign so I know you have reached Heaven.
And he answered, “Mom, I will not give you one, but I will give you many.”
And Antonia says that Carlo has become visible to numerous people.
And also, Saint Francis of Assisi has been appearing to Mrs. Acutis in her dreams.
In his first appearance in 2006, in the lower basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, he told her, “Carlo is with me. ”
In the second appearance in 2007, he told her, “Carlo is a great intercessor for young people.”
In the third appearance in 2008, Saint Francis asked her to pray for peace in the world.
And in the fourth apparition in 2010, Antonia was praying in a chapel in Assisi when she saw Saint Francis telling her, “Carlo will be blessed.”
And he added, “when your son Carlo is canonized, Almighty God will fulfill every prophecy and will send the Holy Spirit on the face of the earth and touch every teenager in the world with sanctifying grace.”
He announced his future canonization and related it to a Pentecost for young people, an impressive prophecy.
Well, that’s it for what we at Forums wanted to tell about the supernatural events and prophecies surrounding Carlo Acutis, especially the messages that his mother has received.
And I would like to ask you if you think that the rapid beatification of Carlo Acutis obeys a strategy of the Church to reach young people, or do you think it is a direct strategy from Heaven to recover them?
