An exhibit on miracles this weekend at St. Jude Parish in New Lenox was created by Carlo Acutis, from Milan, Italy, who may be the first millennial saint.
The Archdiocese of Chicago hosted a display of a first-class relic of Carlo Acutis — his hair. The teen, who died in 2006 and was beatified in 2020, has moved one step closer to being named the first millennial saint.
Acutis was a teen when he began a database that collected “all this information of church-approved miracles” Lebhardt said. He was diagnosed with leukemia and died fairly quickly afterward. The Rev. Ray Flores, right, holds the host before giving it to a parishioner during the Eucharist portion of a Mass at St. Jude Parish in New Lenox. An exhibit set for this weekend at the church features eucharistic miracles.
Lebhardt said the miracles Acutis presented in the exhibit typically related to the host — a small, flat wafer — provided during the Eucharist, also known as Communion. “They broke it out in the 1970s and had it researched. That’s when they found out it was still living blood cells,” she said.“They are pretty incredible. I can’t begin to understand it myself — I’m not that smart,” Flores said. “I don’t understand it. That’s part of the mystery of the faith that we profess.”“It’s food for our journey. In Latin it’s ‘vaticum.’ If a person can receive their last Communion when they pass from this world to the next, it will system them for this journey,” he said.
