"From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others."
Pope John Paul II
"The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven."
Blessed Carlo Acutis
Eucharistic miracles are extraordinary events, where the Eucharist no longer appears under the form of bread and wine, but takes on the biological qualities of human flesh or blood or both.
These miracles have no scientific explanation but can be scientifically verified, and help us go beyond the visible and perceptible to the existence of something beyond, or even supernatural.
Carlo Acutis and the Eucharistic Miracles of the World
Carlo Acutis was a teenager from Italy who had a great love for Jesus and a deep devotion to the Eucharist, which he called “my highway to heaven.”
Before his death of leukaemia in 2006 at the age of 15, Carlo documented all the verified Eucharistic miracles from around the world and created a website, www.miracolieucaristici.org as a way to share with others about the great gift of Jesus in the Eucharist.
There are over 100 Eucharistic Miracles recorded on Carlo’s website, categorised according to country. These miracles form the basis of the Eucharistic Miracles of the World exhibition, an exhibition that will be at St. Catherine of Alexandria Church on October 28-29, 2023.
