Italian teen to become first millennial saint after the Pope recognises second miracle [View all]

A London-born teenager who died at the age of 15 is set to become the Catholic church's first millennial saint after having a second miracle attributed to him by Pope Francis.
...

The teenager became the youngest contemporary person to be beautified in 2020 after appearing to posthumously cure a Brazilian boy, Mattheus Vianna, of a serious birth defect that made eating difficult.
The boy, who had been on an all-liquid diet, had attended a prayer service and asked for the teenager Acutis's intercession that he should "not throw up as much".
Following the service, Mattheus told his mother that he felt "healed" and asked for solid food.
