Eucharistic Miracles are events in which the Sacred Host visibly manifests the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Most commonly, this occurs when the Host appears to change from ordinary bread into what resembles human flesh or blood, though there are other ways these events are recognized as miraculous. During every Mass, the Church teaches that at the moment of consecration the substance of the bread and wine is changed into the Body and Blood of Christ, while the “accidents,” meaning their appearance, taste, smell, and texture, remain the same. Before and after consecration, the Eucharist ordinarily continues to look, taste, and feel like bread and wine.

On rare occasions, however, during the celebration of Mass, the accidents of the bread and wine appear to change along with the substance. These extraordinary events are known as Eucharistic miracles. The Church has approved approximately 100 Eucharistic miracles throughout the world, each serving as a sign that points toward the deeper mystery of the Eucharist.

The Carlo Project, inspired by the work of Carlo Acutis, seeks to present these miracles in a clear and organized way for a modern audience. By gathering and sharing these accounts, the project continues Carlo’s mission of using technology to spread devotion to the Holy Eucharist and to help others grow in faith and understanding of the Real Presence.

The Miracle of Bolsena (1263)
The Miracle of Bolsena (1263)
In 1263 during a mass at the consecration the consecrated host began to bleed onto the corporal (white cloth used to hold the sacred elements) and stained it. The appearance of blood upon the corporal affirmed our doctorine of transubstantiation. The Corporal is kept today in a reliquary at Orvieto in the cathedral. Many historians and scholars say that this is one of the reasons urged to Pope Urban II to establish "Corpus Christi Sunday." Now, the Sacred Relic is revered by the church as a private revalation in which catholics can choose to believe or not to believe in freely.

The Parish of St. Mary has been blessed with multiple Eucharistic Miracles, lets dive into a few:
In 1992, after the Holy Mass on Friday, while preparing for the translation of the Eucharistic reserve, a minister of the holy eucharist found some pieces of the sacred host on the corporal. Following the proper way of taking utmost care for the sacred gift, the minister placed the host in a vessel of water to dissolve. In the days following, several priests came to check on the host to see if it was dissolved and they realized not a thing had changed. Almost a week later, on Friday, May 8th they opened the tabernacle to check on it and found the fragments had appeared with a reddish color on them. The Following Sunday, the tenth, the priests noticed small drops of blood on the patens on which they distributed Holy Communion. On Sunday, July 24 of that same year during the children's mass, a eucharistic minister took the pix (circular vessel used containing the Host) from the tabernacle and saw a drop of blood on its side. All of these were investigated by Archbishop Jorge Marie Bergoglio, now know as the late Pope Francis.

In 750 in Lanciano, a Monastic priest at the Church of St. Francis had doubts about the true presence of our sovereign lord in the eucharist. While the priest was saying the words of consecration, the bread turned into real human flesh and the wine true human blood. Everything was visible to those in attendance. Today, the sacred flesh is still intact and the blood split into five equal parts which all weigh the same.

The Miracle of Patierno
On August 29, 1774, the Archepiscopal curia in Patierno expressed itself favorably in regard to the miraculous finding of hosts preserved from thieves who had stolen the eucharistic reserve years before from the Church of Saint Peter's in Patierno in 1772. In 1972 during the diocesan eucharistic year, they allowed the community to capture the beauty of the miracle. Unfortunately to Satan's delight unknown thieves were able to steal the miraculous hosts and they havent been found since.

The Miracle of Alboraya-Almacéra
The Miracle of Alboraya-Almacéra
In 1348, a Priest, on his way to visit the sick, holding a ciborium, slipped and dropped the sacred hosts in the water of a small river nearby. The poor priest, who had now resigned himself to the loss, heard a group of fishermen calling him over and see something. To the priest's surprise, he saw fish with white discs in their mouth which appeared to be the solemn hosts. Then the priest gathered up the hosts, and took them in solemn procession back to the church. The priest later recounted they where holding them as 'prizes' in their mouths, waiting for him to gather them up. Today on the sight of the miracle stands a small church with fish engraved on the grand doors.
