According to a 2019 Pew Research report, only about 1/3 of American Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) puts that number closer to 67%. Given that the Holy Eucharist is the Source and Summit of our faith, I find both numbers distressing. Blessed Carlo Acutis (learn his story here) developed and designed a program of over 100 Eucharistic Miracles (maybe this also belongs in “Did You Know…”). There are some incredible miracles throughout the website. While many are compelling, I would like to draw your attention the miracle at Lanciano Italy. The miracle occurred in 750 AD, however, medical tests were conducted on the relics of the miracle in 1970!! The examination was conducted by Dr. Edward Linoli, director of the hospital in Arezzo and professor of anatomy, histology, chemistry, and clinical microscopy. The Advisory Board of the World Health Organization appointed a scientific commission in 1973 to corroborate the findings. You can download the PDF from Carlo’s website here.
