Martin Scorsese's docuseries 'The Saints' concludes its second season by focusing on St. Carlo Acutis, the Catholic Church's first millennial saint, often dubbed "God's Influencer." The episode details his remarkable life, where he leveraged the internet and social media to spread his faith, documenting Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions.
Acutis passed away from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15. His mother, Antonia Salzano, who had a distant relationship with the church, found her faith reignited after his death. She recounted a dream where Carlo predicted his own canonization and her future motherhood.
This prediction came true years later. Following Carlo's passing, Antonia became pregnant with twins, further cementing Carlo's miraculous legacy. The series explores Acutis' unique approach to evangelism in the digital age, showcasing his impact on Christianity.
