Antonella Clerici, the discovery of the benign tumor and the “apparitions” of Carlo Acutis on her cell phone

“I owe everything to the doctors who operated on me and to prevention, which is essential.” Antonella Clerici emphasizes the importance of undergoing periodic check-ups to verify one’s health status and prevent the onset of disorders and diseases that, if neglected, could prove fatal.

She speaks out for the first time since the emergency surgery to remove her ovaries last June. She did so in an interview published on Todaywhere she recounts the fear she experienced when a simple routine gynecological check-up turned into something much more serious, as she herself highlighted in a post on June 13 in which, after the operation, she recounted what had happened to her: “My gynecologist reminds me that I have to check an ovarian cyst. A tsunami starts from there. MRI, hospitalization, operation. Bye ovaries. Everything went well…”.

Like those regarding certain “apparitions” relating to the blessed 15-year-old, which she interpreted as “a sign”.

«Before I knew about the cyst, I kept seeing the face of Charles Acutethe 15-year-old boy, beatified in 2020. After the operation he disappeared”, Clerici reveals to Todaythen emphasizing that she had addressed her prayers to him before the operation. “I prayed to him and everything went well,” adds the presenter, who in light of the experience lived, confides her intention: “I will go to Assisi, where he rests. I do not intend to talk about miracles, but I want to go and thank him.”

Pope Francis will proclaim a saint the 15-year-old killed in 2006 by fulminant leukemia. He will be the protector of the internet. His mother: “His most important miracle is his conversions.” However, many are raising doubts

On October 10, 2020, he was proclaimed Blessed in Assisi, the place where he was buried and which has become a destination of devotion for the faithful from all over the world.
It was Charles himself who asked to be buried in the cemetery of Assisi, but since 6 April 2019 his mortal remains have been transferred and displayed at the Sanctuary of the Spogliazione (Church of Santa Maria Maggiore), also in Assisi.
