Lombardi, now 78, shared, “I was a cultural Catholic who fulfilled religious obligations without deep personal faith.

After witnessing Carlos ecstasy and the accompanying supernatural signs, I began taking Eucharistic theology seriously, I started attending daily mass myself, not out of obligation, but from desire to encounter the Christ I saw Carlo experiencing.

That August morning didn’t just reveal Carlo’s sanctity.

It initiated my own conversion.

On January 15th, 2025, I gave my first public interview about the August 15th, 2004 phenomena to a major Italian Catholic media outlet.

The response was immediate and overwhelming.

Within 48 hours, the interview had been viewed over 2 million times online.

Catholic news agencies around the world picked up the story.

Carlo Autis’ godmother reveals 20 years secret witnessed eucharistic miracle during mass.

Supernatural phenomena accompanied future saints vision of Christ in Eucharist.

Multiple witnesses confirm Carlo Akutis experienced authentic mystical ecstasy at age 13.

But more significant than the media, attention were the personal testimonies that began arriving.

people sharing how learning about Carlo’s eukaristic encounter had transformed their own faith.

A 24year-old Italian man wrote, “I stopped attending mass 5 years ago because it felt empty and meaningless.

I read your testimony about Carlo seeing Jesus in the Eucharist and for the first time I understood the mass isn’t meaningless.

I just wasn’t recognizing the supernatural reality happening at the altar.

I returned to mass last Sunday and tried to approach it with Carlos awareness.

I didn’t see golden light or smell roses, but I experienced a deep conviction that Jesus is truly present.

Thank you for sharing this testimony.

An American university student shared, “I was raised Catholic but became an atheist in college because I couldn’t reconcile faith with scientific rationality.

Reading about multiple educated adults witnessing supernatural phenomena during Carlo’s mystical experience documented with names, dates, independent testimonies challenged my assumption that religion is just wishful thinking.

I’m not ready to return to faith yet, but I’m reconsidering my certainty that the supernatural is impossible.

A Brazilian mother reported, “My 14-year-old daughter has been preparing for confirmation, but was going through the motions without genuine faith.

I showed her your testimony about Carlo.

” She was amazed that someone her age could experience such profound encounter with Jesus.

She asked me, “Mom, if Carlo could see Jesus in the Eucharist, why can’t I?” We’ve started attending daily mass together.

Both of us trying to approach with Carlos awareness.

It’s transforming our relationship with the sacrament.

On February 5th, 2025, today I received an invitation to speak at Carlos canonization mass in Rome this coming March.

The Vatican has asked me to provide brief testimony as his godmother, including reference to the August 15th, 2004 phenomena so that the hundreds of thousands expected to attend can understand that Carlos Eucharistic devotion was rooted in authentic mystical experience.

This morning, preparing my remarks for that event, I reread the notes I wrote immediately after that August 2004 mass.

One passage stood out.

Today, I witnessed something that shattered my comfortable, worldly, spiritually mediocre existence.

I saw my 13-year-old godson experienced direct encounter with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, confirmed by supernatural signs that dozens of witnesses observed.

In that moment, I understood three truths that changed everything.

First, the Eucharist is not symbol or metaphor.

It is actual presence of the living God.

Second, sanctity is not ancient history.

It is contemporary reality available even to teenagers who love video games and sneakers.

Third, I have been living as a practical atheist despite claiming to be Catholic, fulfilling religious obligations without genuine faith or love.

My godson Carlo has given me a gift I never expected.

By letting me witness his mystical encounter, he has initiated my own conversion from nominal Catholicism to genuine disciplehip.

Those words written 20 years and 6 months ago remain true.

Carlos sanctity confirmed now by the church’s official declaration transformed not just his own life but the lives of everyone who genuinely encountered his witness.

And if this channel has been an answer for you, consider leaving a super thanks.

This financial help, however small it may seem, sustains this mission and allows us to continue bringing deep and transformative content to more lives that need this word.

Today, at 71 years old, I’m not the same woman who stood at Carlos Baptismal Font in 1991 making promises I didn’t understand.

That woman was a sophisticated businesswoman who viewed religion as useful social tradition.

The woman I’ve become through Carlo’s life, death, beatification, and now canonization is someone who actually believes the promises I made.

That Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, that sanctity is possible in modern life, and that my role as godmother involves not just social ceremony, but spiritual responsibility.

I attend daily mass now, not out of obligation, but from hunger.

Every time the priest elevates the host during consecration, I remember August 15th, 2004, the golden light, the rose fragrance, Carlos transfigured face.

I don’t see those phenomena with my physical eyes anymore, but I see them with eyes of faith, believing that what happened visibly that morning happens invisibly at every mass.

Heaven touches earth.

Eternity enters time and the God who created the universe makes himself available in a small piece of bread to anyone who approaches with faith.

Carlo Autis was born on May 3rd, 1991 in London.

He died on October 12th, 2006 at age 15 from fulminant leukemia.

He was beatified on October 10th, 2020 and will be canonized in March 2025.

But he was a saint long before the church officially declared it.

I knew it on August 15th, 2004 when I witnessed him experience direct vision of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, accompanied by supernatural phenomena that confirmed the authenticity of his mystical encounter.

For 20 years, I kept that testimony private, sharing it only with church officials investigating his cause.

Now with his canonization confirmed, I share it publicly so that people around the world can understand.

Carlo Autis’ passion for the Eucharist wasn’t religious conditioning or childhood imagination.

It was the response of someone who had actually met Jesus Christ face to face in the consecrated host and could never be satisfied with anything less than continuous return to that encounter.

My name is Raphaela Toriani.

I’m 71 years old.

I was Carlo Autis’ godmother.

And on August 15th, 2004, during mass at the church of Santa Maria delegati in Milan, [music] I witnessed my 13-year-old godson experience authentic mystical vision of Christ in the Eucharist, confirmed by multiple supernatural phenomena, and corroborated by 17 independent adult witnesses.

That day I understood with absolute certainty Carlo was a saint.

The church has now officially confirmed what I knew 20 years ago.

And the gift Carlo gave me that morning.

The gift of witnessing supernatural reality, breaking through the veil of ordinary existence continues to transform my life every single day.

This is my testimony.

This is my witness.

This is the truth that I carried in secret for two decades and now share publicly for the glory of God and the inspiration of anyone who wonders whether the eukarist really contains the presence of Jesus Christ.

It does.

I’ve seen it and I’ll never forget.
