Carlo Acutis loved Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist. He wanted others to know and love Jesus, too, and he thought one great way to do that would be to tell them about Eucharistic Miracles. While the primary and most profound Eucharistic Miracle is the one that happens at every Mass, when ordinary bread and wine are transformed into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus, secondary Eucharistic Miracles are amazing incidents that give visible evidence of the usually invisible reality of Jesus' Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.
