@cbsnews: Millions of young Catholics flock to the small central Italian town of Assisi every year to pay tribute to Carlo Acutis — the Italian teenager informally known as “God’s Influencer.” Pope Leo XIV canonized the 15-year-old, who died in 2006, during an open-air Mass in St. Peter’s Square, making him the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint. Acutis launched and managed a website for his local parish and later a Vatican-based academy. He also used his computer skills to create an online database of Eucharistic miracles around the world, available in nearly 20 languages. “The greatest risk in life is to waste it outside of God’s plan,” Leo said in his homily. The new saints “are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces.” #millennial #saint #catholic #popeleoxiv #religion

My doctors have diagnosed me with Dementia and other serious illnesses. I was raised a Catholic and they loved my money. Yet now when my wife needs financial assistance, every Catholic Church has refused to help her and not one Catholic person has offered to help my wife. Disgusting 🤔 I remember envelopes being sent home from the Catholic Church when my parents were gonna miss mass but now no help for my family

Carlo Acutis’s canonization is deeply inspiring, showing how faith and technology can unite for a higher purpose. His life reminds young people that true influence comes not from trends, but from serving God and others.

17 innocent students lost their lives. Attack on a uniformed student is a grave violation of human rights and international laws. We call for an immediate, independent investigation and urge international human rights organizations and the UN to hold the government accountable. Justice must be served, and the voices of students must be protected, not silenced. Please tag international media. #JusticeForStudents #HumanRights #Nepal
