What is a Eucharistic Miracle?

Eucharistic miracles are extraordinary phenomena which manifest the Real Presence of Jesus in consecrated (blessed) bread and wine, in a way that we can discern with ordinary senses. This can be as simple as a floating host or as astonishing as a host becoming human heart tissue. Each miracle is approved by the Catholic Church only after intense scientific scrutiny.

Who is Blessed Carlo Acutis?

A modern-day saint in the making, Blessed Carlo Acutis, was an Italian teen known for his kindness, volunteer work with the poor, and his love of Christ. Carlo died of leukemia in 2006 at 15 years old and was beatified in 2020. During his short but extraordinary life, he was moved to promote love of Jesus through devotion to the Eucharist. He developed a website chronicling over 100 Eucharistic miracles. The website became a traveling exhibit making its way around the globe.
