The Eucharistic Revival Team in St. Jude Parish, Blairstown, recently arranged for the traveling Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit, created by the Diocese of Trenton, to be hosted in the parish hall for two weeks. The exhibit is based on the website created by Blessed Carlo Acutis, who attempted to catalogue all the Eucharistic miracles that have taken place worldwide.
Father Ronald L. Jandernoa, pastor, recalled, “Of the 500 to 600 people who came to encounter the Eucharistic Miracle Exhibit, 294 signed the guest book during the [time] the Miracle of the Eucharist was here at St Jude. Many people were touched by the exhibit.”
According to the Diocese of Trenton website, dioceseoftrenton.org/eucharistic-miracles-exhibit, the exhibit is circular and is divided into seven sections or rooms. In the first six rooms, information about the Eucharistic miracles is displayed. Each panel names a miracle, recounts the story of its occurrence and the country where it took place. The panels are arranged in chronological order from the early third century to 2013.
All of the rooms point to the center of the exhibit to remind visitors that the historical miracles on the walls of the exhibit are pointing to the miracle in front of them – Jesus, present in the Holy Eucharist. In the seventh room, the Eucharist is clearly visible in the monstrance and a place is prepared for visitors to rest in Jesus’ presence.
