Under sin uppväxt i Milano samlade Carlo Acutis på historier om mirakler. Han skrev om när vin förvandlades till blod i ett slottskapell i Ludbreg i Kroatien år 1411, om när en pastor i italienska Canosio år 1630 räddade sin stad från översvämning genom att välsigna det rasande vattnet och om när en präst på ön Tumaco i Colombia år 1906 höll upp ett relikskrin på stranden för att stoppa en annalkande tsunami.
