Carlo Acutis, a 15-year-old Monza boy who died of leukemia in 2006 and was beatified by Pope Francis four years ago, On Thursday became a saint after another miracle was ratified for him.
    Acutis has become a model of Christian life for many young faithful.
    He has also been dubbed a patron saint of the Internet.
    The second miracle that earned him his saint's spurs was the miraculous healing of a young Costa Rican girl.
    Acutis was fast-tracked to sainthood and named a saint by Francis along with the Blessed Giuseppe Allamano, founder of the Consolata Missions.
