    Blessed Carlo Acutis, and the
    Eucharistic Miracles of the World website
    • Blessed Carlo Acutis


      Highway to Heaven

      An Italian teen who wore a track suit and tennis shoes, who enjoyed playing soccer and loved going to Mass, is on the path to sainthood and could become the first millennial saint. 



      Blessed Carlo Acutis inspired those around him, including his own mother. He had a deep faith, generous heart, and was known for going out of his way to help those in need. He came to the rescue of kids being picked on, bought sleeping bags for the homeless, and used his computer knowledge to share his deep love for the Eucharist. 

      The gifted computer programmer created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles around the globe. He went to daily Mass and made a Holy Hour in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament as often as possible. He called the Eucharist his “Highway to Heaven.” On his website he wrote: “The more often we receive the Eucharist, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this Earth we will have a foretaste of Heaven.” 

      In 2006, the teen who impacted the faith of many through the witness of his life died at the age of 15, just weeks after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia. He offered his suffering for Pope Benedict XVI and for the Catholic Church. 

      * * * 

      On February 22, 2020, Pope Francis announced that a miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Carlo Acutis had been approved.  This cleared the way for his beatification October 10, 2020.

    Transubstantiation
    • Transubstantiation 

      The word “transubstantiation” may sound complicated.  Simply put, it is a term used by the Church to describe what  takes place at every Mass. 

      What appears to us as bread and wine becomes the  Body and Blood–the Real Presence–of Jesus during the  celebration of the Eucharist. 

      Just as the disciples did not fully grasp what was taking  place during the Last Supper, so it is with us. The mystery that is the Eucharist is something that is beyond human  comprehension and intelligence. Only through faith can we truly see the Body and Blood of Jesus under the appearance  of bread and wine. 

      As a term, "transubstantiation" first was used by  Hildebert of Lavardin, the Archbishop of Tours, in the 11th  century.  And it was at the Council of Trent (1545–1563) that "transubstantiation" became the official church teaching. 

      But long before the term came into being were the words that Jesus spoke to his disciples during the Last Supper. 

      When we celebrate the Eucharist, we recall those words of Jesus. And through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the bishop or priest, the bread and wine  are transformed into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus.
