Pope Francis will preside at an Ordinary Public Consistory on July 1, when Cardinals present in Rome are set to give the final go-ahead for the canonization of 15 Blesseds.On the night of 9-10 July 1860, eight Franciscan friars and three lay Christians of the Maronite rite were martyred in the Franciscan convent in Syria during a Druze uprising against local Christians.
Now, almost 100 years after Pope Pius XI beatified them, Emanuele Ruiz and his companions, including the brothers Francesco, Abdel-Mooti, and Raffaele Massabki, are one step away from sainthood. On July 1, Pope Francis will preside at an Ordinary Public Consistory where Cardinals present in Rome are expected to give formal approval to proceed with their canonization.During the ceremony, which will begin with the celebration of the liturgical hour of Terce, the Cardinals will also consider the causes of three founders of religious orders, as well as that of Bd Carlo Acutis, the 15-year old web designer who is set to become the first “millenial” saint.
Born in 1991, Carlo Acutis was noted for his devotion to Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions, cataloguing both on a website he designed prior to his death in 2006 due to leukemia. His relics can be visited in Assisi, famous as the home of St Francis, to whom Blessed Carlo had a deep devotion.
