The visit of the holy relics of Carlo Acutis to Edinburgh have been described as “a moment of enormous grace.”
Hundreds of people queued to venerate the relics at St Mary’s Cathedral on Saturday night after Mass.
Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo, of the Diocese of Assisi, gave a homily with a powerful testimony of the life of St Carlo.
Before the Mass he said “People will be given an opportunity both to venerate touch the relic, ask Carlo to intercede for them, also to write their petitions.
“The first official miracle came from touching a relic of Carlo, the second one from leaving a petition.
“We take the petitions back to Assisi and place under Carlo’s tomb.
“This is a moment of enormous grace – don’t miss the opportunity because everywhere we go there are graces, there are miracles.”
Archbishop Cushley also celebrated Mass on Sunday and welcomed school children to the 12:45pm Mass on Monday.
St Carlo Acutis, pray for us!
