RAMSGATE, England — The worldwide “Eucharistic Miracles” exhibition, first devised by Blessed Carlo Acutis, is now showing at the Ramsgate Shrine, one of England’s holiest sites where St. Augustine of Canterbury landed in 597 to evangelize the English.
Blessed Carlo, who lived from 1991 to 2006 and was beatified in 2020, placed the Holy Eucharist — what he called “my highway to heaven” — at the heart of his life. “By standing before the Eucharistic Christ, we become holy,” he once said, and he would often ask himself why people would queue for hours for a rock concert but not line up for the Eucharist in the same way.
So in 2002, at the age of 11, Blessed Carlo began devising the exhibition; and after two and a half years, and with the help of his parents, it was completed. According to its original curators, it has since been shown in thousands of parishes and at more than 100 universities.
Made up of a series of panels featuring miracles approved by the Church from the eighth century until 2008, the exhibition reveals the breadth of a supernatural phenomenon that affirms the reality of the Real Presence of Christ
