Founder's Eucharistic Vision
Eucharistic Vision - A witness by Gaurav Patole
"In 2012, While working in USA, Microsoft as a Software Engineer, I had witnessed a life changing vision. In 2012 while attending 4:30 PM Holy Mass at St Anns Church in Coppel, Texas, USA - I had a personal vision of the Most Holy Eucharist where I experienced “the bleeding crucifix juxtaposed over the Holy Eucharist” during the moment of consecration. While I could not fully grasp the phenomenon, somehow I finished the Mass and decided to search for the answer to the question – “What happens during Mass?” This was a life changing quest and in an attempt to find the answers, I started soaking myself in scriptures and Catechism of the Catholic Church – just to realize that Christ is present in the Holy Eucharist “really, truly and substantially”. And one fine day, I came across the work of a fellow Computer Hobbyist – Blessed Carlo Acutis who had great passion for the Holy Eucharist. And as I was browsing, I got introduced to his work where he had Catalogued all the Eucharistic Miracles of the World. I soon realized the divine plan unfolding in front of my eyes. With lot of prayers, discernment & Mama Mary’s intercession - I heard the Lord calling me to proclaim the work of Bld Carlo Acutis and spread his catalogued Miracles of the Eucharist in all over India. This had sealed my vocation and I decided to say “Yes” to preach our Eucharistic Lord. Since 2012, our entire Patole family from Nasikh diocese started BOL Eucharist Foundation and dedicated ourselves to fostering devotion to the Holy Eucharist and promoting Eucharistic miracles through faith formation, Vatican International exhibitions, and digital evangelization. Our mission aligns with the Church’s call to deepen the faithful’s understanding of Christ’s Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, inspired by Blessed Carlo Acutis, who devoted his short life to cataloging Eucharistic miracles."

In the Eucharist Exhibition we see Jesus not just as Bread but as the Real Presence of Christ. We truly believe that Christ is Living & in such a humble & simple way he comes to us. There are many challenges in our lives & hence God reaches out to us during this difficult time in the Eucharist.
