"She said, He would go to mass and do the rosary each day, and recalled how her son could not be indifferent to sorrow."
"She said: We lived in the centre of Milan in a building surrounded by beggars. He wanted to help them, speak to them, bring them food and blankets."
"Antonia said: Carlo was an internet geek, but he had the temperance to use technology for good and was not exploited by it."
Carlo Acutis died of leukaemia in 2006 at age 15 after becoming a devout Catholic who used the internet to promote the faith. Born in London and raised in Milan, he attended Mass and prayed the rosary daily, and he regularly assisted beggars near his family home. He built websites to spread Catholic teaching and was described as using technology temperately for good. Two healings—one of a Brazilian boy with a rare disease and one of a student in Florence—were later credited as miracles. Over a million pilgrims have visited his tomb in Assisi; relics and tissue pieces travel with his mother.
