Visitors check out the exhibit on Eucharistic miracles at Christ the King Church near Hollywood on June 11, the day it opened. | Victor Alemán/Angeles NewsMagat and seven other members of his church group had made it to the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi last September during a tour of Italy, but they were turned away at 7:03 p.m. from viewing the body of Blessed Carlo Acutis.
“We never expected so many parishes to say yes to hosting the exhibit — that was something surprising to all of us,” said Father Juan Ochoa, pastor of Christ the King and director of the archdiocese’s Office for Divine Worship.After Acutis was beatified, interest grew in a website he created that catalogs eucharistic miracles throughout the ages and around the world.
The eucharistic miracles Acutis chronicled consist of unexplainable phenomena such as consecrated hosts bleeding. Some Catholic saints reportedly survived for years on nothing but the holy Eucharist. Acutis is nicknamed the “millennial saint” because of his youth and computer skills. Although he loved to play video games such as “Halo” on his PlayStation, he reportedly limited himself to an hour of gaming a week.
“At our exhibit, I asked people, ‘Do you realize the person who put this together was a teenager between the ages of 12 to 15 years old?’ It’s so difficult to get younger generations to become active in the Church. This is an opportunity for us to speak to teenagers.
