History of the Real Presence Education and Adoration Association
This association, created by Servant of God Fr. John Hardon, puts what Saint John Paul II strongly urged on our country’s Catholic faithful into practice. The Holy Father states, “The year 2000 will be intensely Eucharistic: in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Savior, who took flesh in Mary’s womb twenty centuries ago, continues to offer himself to humanity as the source of divine life.” With the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in the Diocese of La Crosse at its center, this Eucharistic apostolate will spread throughout the United States and please God worldwide.

Blessed Carlo Acutis
Blessed Carlo Acutis was a modern Catholic teenager celebrated for his devotion to the Eucharist and his innovative use of technology to spread his faith. He attended daily Mass, prayed before the Blessed Sacrament, and described the Eucharist as his “highway to heaven.”
Despite passing away from leukemia at just 15, Carlo’s life continues to inspire young people to grow in holiness and develop a close relationship with Jesus. Recognized as the first Millennial to be beatified, he is often called the “Patron of the Internet” for his work cataloging Eucharistic miracles online. His example encourages others to seek holiness and trust in the guidance of their Guardian Angels.

The Eucharist Through the Writings of Fr. John Hardon, S.J.
The Eucharist as the Real Presence is the touchstone of sanctity. As evidence of this fact we have the witness of the saints who, when they speak or write about the power of the Blessed Sacrament to sanctify, seem to be positively extreme in their claims about what the Real Presence can achieve in making a sinful person holy.
In order to appreciate the value of the Real Presence in the spiritual life, we must go back in spirit to the event described by St. John when our Lord, after He had worked the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, made the solemn promise of the Eucharist. . .

Vatican International Exhibits
Throughout Christian history, our Lord has shown us that he is really present as the Blessed Sacrament. Interestingly, many Eucharistic miracles have occurred during times of weakened Faith. For instance, many Eucharist miracles have taken place as a result of someone doubting the Real Presence. Included on this page are descriptions of just a few of these miracles. All of them have received full approval by the Church. Most Eucharistic miracles involve incidences in which the Host has “turned into human flesh and blood”.

Praised be Jesus Christ!
In his 1981 Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Family, Familiaris Consortio, Pope Saint John Paul II declared that “the Christian family, in fact, is the first community called to announce the Gospel to the human person during growth and to bring him or her, through a progressive education and catechesis, to full human and Christian maturity.” The family is the first place of education, a truth which defines essentially the mission of the school. The school serves the family and, therefore, works intimately with the family in bringing children to ever greater maturity, to the fullness of life in Christ.
It cannot escape the attention of any thoughtful person that education today is under a ferocious attack, and the teaching of Pope Saint John Paul II on the family and its essential mission of education is more vital than ever. On this feast day of Pope Saint John Paul II, I am pleased to share with you the text of my recent presentation on “The Rights of Parents as Primary Educators of Their Children and the Obligation of Parents to Oppose a Curriculum Contrary to the Moral Law,” which I prepared for the Voice of the Family Virtual Conference earlier this month.
During this month of the Most Holy Rosary, to which Pope Saint John Paul had such great devotion, I am also pleased to share with you the text of a recent sermon on the Most Holy Rosary.
May you have a most blessed feast of Pope Saint John Paul II. May God bless you, your home, and all your labors, and may Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint John Paul II intercede for your intentions.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and in the Purest Heart of Saint Joseph,
May God bless you, your home, and all your labors.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and in the Purest Heart of Saint Joseph,
