Among them is 9-year-old Alex Espinosa in Mexico, who both considers Acutis a \u201cfriend\u201d and enthusiastically expresses that he wants to be like him when he grows up.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Espinosa is the eldest son of Mar\u00eda and Alejandro Espinosa. Alex\u2019s mother says her family\u2019s devotion to Carlo Acutis began in 2020, the year Acutis was proclaimed a blessed. After learning about Acutis\u2019 story and understanding how he lived \u201can ordinary life in an extraordinary way,\u201d the little boy was deeply impacted. That same afternoon, he took some suitcases and said to his mother: \u201cWe have to be ready for Heaven, Mom. We have to have our suitcases ready,\u201d Mar\u00eda recalled.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2024, Alex\u2019s father, Alejandro, was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in one of his lungs. While they were waiting for treatment, a close friend offered Alejandro a relic of Carlo Acutis. One evening, Alex expressed his concern: \u201cI\u2019m worried that he\u2019s in pain, I don\u2019t like my dad being in pain.\u201d Following his mother\u2019s advice, the boy asked Carlo Acutis to intercede with Jesus for his father\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicworldreport.com\/2024\/11\/27\/nine-year-old-alex-follows-example-of-carlos-acutis-considers-him-a-friend\/\"><strong><em>For full story<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From <em>YouTube\u2014Christian Way:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this video, we share a true and astonishing story: A father of five, Alejandro, suffering from lung cancer, was suddenly healed after his young child prayed with a relic of Carlo Acutis.
