Meet Inés Zavala, the executive producer behind Custodian Movies, the production company responsible for creating three inspiring films: Heaven Can’t Wait, The Heartbeat of Heaven (a film centered around Carlo Acutis), and An Angel named Rebeca.
Exaudi: Agnes, today a miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Carlo Acutis by Pope Francis has been approved. What does this event mean for the Church and for the faithful in general?
Canonization in the Catholic Church is a process that evaluates the sanctity of a deceased individual’s life on Earth.
With Carlo Acutis, this process has reached its culmination, confirming his status as a Saint. This recognition from the Church is significant for Catholics, as it signifies Carlo’s intercessory power and divine presence in Heaven.
It is now more important than ever to seek Carlo’s intercession, believing that he can pray for us before God with faith.
Exaudi: Could you tell us more about Carlo Acutis and his impact on the Church?
Carlo Acutis has made a profound impact on believers of all ages within the Church.
During the production of “Heaven Can’t Wait,” we witnessed a wave of followers devoted to Carlo. Messages poured in from various countries, expressing a deep desire for the film, relics, and memorabilia related to Carlo.
His influence on the Church, especially among the youth, has been remarkable, even personally affecting my own spiritual journey.
Carlo serves as a powerful intercessor for our modern times and has left a lasting mark on countless hearts in a short span of time.
