At a packed canonization Mass in Rome, with 80,000 attending, it was the face of the mother that said it all during the canonization Mass \u2014 Antonia Salzano was moved beyond words when her son, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2020\/10\/beatified-teen-showed-that-heaven-is-attainable-goal-cardinal-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carlo Acutis<\/a>, was officially declared saint of the Catholic Church. Pier Giorgio Frassati was canonized along with him in the Mass presided by Pope Leo XIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The miracle that sealed Acutis\u2019 path to sainthood was front and center at the Sept. 7 canonization Mass. Twenty-four-year-old Valeria Vargas Valverde of Costa Rica, who nearly died from a traumatic bike accident in 2022, prayed at the Mass. Her recovery, which doctors called medically inexplicable, followed her mother\u2019s desperate prayers at then-Blessed Carlo\u2019s tomb in Assisi, Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/press.vatican.va\/content\/salastampa\/en\/bollettino\/pubblico\/2025\/09\/07\/250907a.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canonization Mass<\/a>, confidence in God of those two mothers was clearly in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCarlo\u2019s death was an extraordinary loss for Antonia. Like any mother she deeply grieved his passing,\u201d Father Patrick Briscoe, newly appointed head of communications of the Dominican order, told OSV News. It was Carlo, however, who gave her a new source of confidence, Father Briscoe underlined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending the canonization Mass with her husband, Andrea, and Carlo\u2019s twin siblings, born four years after he died \u2014 Francesa and Michele \u2014 Salzano emotionally shook her head when Pope Leo XIV said that Carlo, now a saint, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/06\/spirit-of-mission-on-finding-jesus-the-christ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">encountered Jesus<\/a> in his family, thanks to his parents \u2026 and then at school, and above all in the sacraments celebrated in the parish community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe grew up naturally integrating prayer, sport, study and charity into his days as a child and young man,\u201d the pope said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A mother\u2019s faith, restored by her son<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzano recalled many times in her interviews that when Carlo was little, she wasn\u2019t practicing her faith a lot. It was Carlo who wanted to be in the church every day, and she facilitated that for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/news\/2025\/buried-assisi-new-saint-true-disciple-st-francis-rector-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">He saved me<\/a>,\u2019 Antonia has said on many occasions. It was Carlo who brought Antonia back into the practice of her Catholic faith,\u201d said Father Briscoe, who was among hundreds of priests concelebrating Mass at St. Peter\u2019s Square, presided by Pope Leo on Sept. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a Sept. 5 screening of the documentary \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/carloacutisfilm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roadmap to Reality<\/a>,\u201d directed by Tim Moriarty and produced by Jim Wahlberg at the North American College in Rome, Salzano said that \u201cwithout Jesus we cannot do anything \u2014 and Carlo understood this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe always said, \u2018I want to please God,&#8217;\u201d Salzano told OSV News in 2024. \u201cWhen he did his first holy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/06\/the-challenge-of-giving-a-maryknoll-reflection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Communion<\/a> \u2014 when he was 7 years old \u2014 he wrote, \u2018To be united with God: this is my life program.\u2019 And he maintained this promise all his life until the end, until his death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Pope Francis had approved a second miracle attributed to then-Blessed Carlo Acutis in 2024, paving the way to his canonization, none was happier than his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was great news because we were waiting for this declaration \u2014 especially for all the devotees he has around the world,\u201d she told OSV News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this miracle, a young girl was healed after a bike accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The miracle behind St. Carlo Acutis\u2019 canonization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading the first universal prayer in Spanish during the canonization Mass, Valverde \u2014 a beautiful young woman from Costa Rica, now 24 \u2014 was a living testimony that faith can work miracles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was her mother, Liliana, who made the miracle possible when on July 8, 2022, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2021\/04\/in-times-of-trouble-church-turns-to-prayer-with-mary-theologian-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">desperately prayed<\/a> at then-Blessed Carlo\u2019s tomb in Assisi, leaving a letter describing her plea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six days earlier, on July 2, Liliana\u2019s daughter Valeria had fallen from her bicycle in Florence, Italy, where she was attending university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a devastating head injury, she required a craniotomy \u2014 a surgical procedure that involves temporarily removing a part of the skull, known as a bone flap, to expose the brain for the treatment \u2014 and the removal of her right occipital bone to ease the pressure on her brain, an operation her doctors said she was unlikely to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cValeria\u2019s mother prayed with a sincere faith. Her prayer wasn\u2019t intricate or informed by a complex theology. She was simply praying with the heart of a mother who was looking to aid her daughter,\u201d Father Briscoe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same day Liliana left her letter at Carlo\u2019s tomb, begging for his intercession, Valeria started to breathe spontaneously. The next day, she began to move and partially regained her speech, Vatican News reported. Ten days later a CAT scan proved that her hemorrhage had disappeared, and on Aug. 11, 2022, Valeria was moved to rehabilitation therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The story of Valeria Valverde: a testimony of gratitude and faith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sept. 2, Valeria could herself accompany her mother to Assisi to thank Blessed Carlo for his intercession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPart of the joy of the canonization Mass was the proximity of those who witnessed these miracles. Valeria\u2019s presence contributed enormously to the joy of the celebration. She was the sign of a mother\u2019s answered prayer,\u201d Father Briscoe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzano told OSV News in 2024 that she spoke with Valverde who was \u201csuspended between life and death\u201d before her mother prayed at the tomb of the young teen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe mother was a woman of faith. She prayed; she went to Carlo because she had a devotion (to him) and kneeled in front of his grave all day praying for her daughter\u2019s healing and she received the grace,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/02\/pope-canonizes-first-argentinian-woman-saint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canonization<\/a> Mass, Valeria, in a simple black dress and with her hair modestly tied up in a bun, without showing any sign of a serious head injury and operation, prayed \u201cFor the holy people of God, that by joyfully welcoming the word that saves, we may follow Jesus along the way of the cross, and bear witness in the world to his love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzano for her part said that with all the trials Christians, especially young people, face today, Carlo\u2019s life serves as a reminder that every person has \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/09\/sent-to-do-many-wonderful-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beautiful things<\/a>\u201d inside them and to \u201cnot be scared\u201d but \u201cbe confident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are not made to be people in this universe of chaos without a goal. God created us for a goal, and that goal is paradise,\u201d Salzano said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Briscoe, who has a strong personal devotion to St. Carlo, concluded: \u201cTo a world now marked by selfies and self-interest, Carlo Acutis proposes an alternative. \u2018Not me, but God,\u2019 Carlo often said. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/09\/spirit-of-mission-is-ai-good-news-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">His witness<\/a> and the testimony of these answered prayers point us beyond ourselves to a God who offers new horizons of joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image: A tapestry depicting St. Carlo Acutis hangs from the facade of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica during the Mass for his canonization at the Vatican Sept. 7, 2025.
