Saint Carlo Acutis

We finally have a canonized saint for our youth! Known as "The Gamer Saint" This young man who predicted his own death and has since procured many miracles, was just canonized by Pope Leo XIV. His parents were Catholics in name only, attending Mass only a few times, and their son brought THEM to the faith! Before he died, he completed a full website about Eucharistic Miracles.
On Halloween this year that I had the opportunity to see his Eucharistic Miracle presentation which came to St Eugene's in asheville. I read the entire thing which was about 100 panels including photos and full stories. I took a few pictures of the most amazing ones. My very favorite was from Buenos Aires in Argentina during the early 1990s. A discarded host turned to flesh as the priest waited for it to be dissolved. The flesh was given to a forensic scientist who had no idea where it came from and determined it was a part of the heart muscle from the left ventricle and was alive when the sample was taken due to the white blood cells in it it was also under a state of distress as if the person was beaten with in the chest and they had blood type A B which was the blood type in every single Eucharistic Miracle where it was recorded. The other cool thing is that the bishop at the time cardinal bergoglio ended up becoming Pope Francis and ordered a professional photographer to document the miracle. But there were others such as one where the host spurted blood onto the ceiling and a discarded host near a tree caused a perfect crucifix to be carved when the tree was cut down. There were a couple where the wine turned to real blood during the Eucharist and the blood has been saved. There was also a story or two of women who survived only on the Eucharist for years and years. Here are a few photos from the exhibition:
