Bl Carlo Acutis to be remembered on BBC Songs of Praise

Anna Johnstone with Aled Jones in the Lady Chapel of St George's Cathedral, Southwark

Aled Jones explores the mystery of miracles and whether they still happen in our modern world in this Sunday's Songs of Praise. Aled meets theologian and author Dr Amy Orr-Ewing to explore what miracles mean.

Aled then meets Anna Johnstone, a close family friend of Blessed Carlo Acutis.

Carlo shared his faith by creating an online exhibition of miracles before he tragically died at the age of just 15. Aled learns about his remarkable story and how Carlo is soon to be named the first millennial saint by the pope after two miracles attributed to him were verified by the Vatican.

The programme will also feature Christian hiker Dr John Pike, who is convinced an act of God saved his life when he was stranded up a Scottish mountain for two days in a severe storm.

With marvellous music to celebrate the God of miracles.
