The astonishment also occurred among the medical teams during the treatment carried out last August at the Juan P. Garrahan Hospital in the city of Buenos Aires.
In dialogue with THE NATIONSamantha Stephanie Sánchez Hurtado, 38 years old, mother of Micaela, She is always touched by what she experiences with her daughter.accompanied by her husband, Pablo Ismael González, 31, who was responsible for investigating and learning more and more about the worrying condition. Both of them never gave up, they didn’t stop moving, they showed their little daughter that everything would be okay and they kept faith, just in the days when Acutis was to be canonizedAt the beginning of September last year.
“From the first to the last resonance, with and without contrast, There was a huge change in the tumor. It has almost completely disappeared: it was now like a spider web Only a small thread remains. “The oncologist was surprised and the expectations of reducing and stopping it were exceeded,” she said excitedly, adding: “My girl is the same as before: She went from being tired and in bed to staying still. It glittered again. Clinically it is perfectand he already ate his snack at school, and now he’s starting first grade.”
At the beginning of this year The girl was diagnosed with a tumor in her brain stem that was inoperable. Likewise, her parents decided to take her to the renowned national pediatric referral hospital, knowing that it was a difficult process.
“We were destroyed, hopelessbut we do not lower our arms,” they said THE NATION. In just four months Mica experienced an inexplicable recovery and he is now back in his home province and living a normal life. It involved radiation therapy and corticosteroid treatment, but the result continues to surprise professionals, especially due to the latest analyzes and images carried out. “When the oncologist saw the last MRI, she told us everything was perfect. Now we have to wait and keep praying. From the six months of life they gave us, we were able to see our daughter again with impressive vitality,” said Samantha.
“Carlo Acutis called me from heaven”; “Carlito was the one who healed me.” “I always look for it when we visit San Expedito,” are some of the sentences Micaela said when her mother told her THE NATION the details of the shocking story. “When I talk to people, I ask them to talk to Carlo Acutis. It is very miraculous“, indicated the young mother, who did not stop thanking her entire province for the support provided and each person who took part in the prayer.
In the midst of this dramatic initial reality, faith emerged strongly through the Argentine followers of the Italian cyber-apostle, who was canonized by Pope Leo XIV on September 7 and has already performed at least two verified miracles.
Actually, In Mendoza there is a community that reveres Acutis which does not stop growing, just like the first modern chapel in the world, which is being built to venerate the thousand-year-old saint in Chacras de Coria, Luján de Cuyo, and is scheduled to open its doors at the end of 2027.
This place is already becoming the most important place of pilgrimage for young people from all over the world.. Acutis’ mother, Antonia Salzano, has already said that she will become “a beacon of light.”
In addition, members of this community prayed together for Micaela and made valuable contributions since the diagnosis of the San Juan girl’s illness was known. “This family was told the girl had an inoperable tumor in her head and they gave her six months to live. We sent him the map and other materials that Carlo Acutis’ mother had given usin addition to asking for the little girl and dedicating ourselves in prayer,” one of the believers from Mendoza told this newspaper.
“The parents offered their daughter’s illness to San Carlo Acutis and in the end the picture changed: she did not undergo surgery and is healthy,” completed another source consulted by this medium.
Since Micaela has been feeling bad, with neck pain and imbalance when walking, Samantha has been constantly remembering every moment that she has lived in connection with the faith, with Acutis, with the Holy Expedito and with Mary, Helper of Christians, whom she venerates even though she is not a practitioner. She is Catholic; her husband, evangelist. They are also supporters of the late Correa.
“Without a doubt, this is a miracle. Many beautiful and surprising things happened to us throughout the difficult process. From receiving a call from people very devoted to Acutis, to receiving small images, medals and relics of the young saint, such as a small piece of fabric from one of his clothes in the church of Santa María in Buenos Aires, where there is an altar with relics of Acutis. “In addition, we always thought of San Expedito, very popular in San Juan, and of the Virgin who always helped us,” said the woman, still moved by the path traveled, now with more relief and hope.
“Since those first contacts and prayers with Acutis, Mica began to have a different mood and regain her vitality in the first radiotherapy session. It seemed like they breathed life into him in the sessions; He started sitting down to eat and it made steady progress every day,” he said.
THE NATION He asked the Archdiocese of Mendoza about this case, where it was explained to him that the priest Osvaldo Scandura, head of the parish of Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro in Chacras de Coria, on which the modern temple of Acutis will depend, is the one who is closely following the events. “I simply said that the illness was there, that the mother received a card with a relic that the mother of San Carlo Acutis had sent to us. I am convinced that Carlo’s intercession had an effect on herlike other people who have asked you for something specific. “It is something that one receives in faith as a gift, as something extraordinary,” said the priest, adding: “We know that walking this path as a pilgrim goes beyond some special graces that one can receive.” The great miracle is the conviction that God gave life and God asks for it. For this reason, we are careful to first ask that His will be done in us.”
Samantha said that Micaela will be re-examined before the end of the year and that they will begin giving her vaccinations appropriate to her age. “And so you continue to return to your normal life. He graduated and received a standing ovation. Every day I thank all the saints, angels and archangels who have been very good to us. It shows that they worked togethershe said, still excited as the case continues to touch everyone.
“That people who go through similar things hold on to Carlo Acutis,” they expressed THE NATION a group of faithful followers of the “Evangelizer of the Networks” or “Blessed of the Internet”, as the young saint was also called and who continues to leave his mark all over the world, in Mendoza.
