Miracle that happens everyday

Every day a miracle happens within the four walls of our churches. In Eucharist the bread and wine changes into the body and blood of christ, only the appearences of bread and wine still remaining. American novelist Flannery O’Connor once said, “If it's just a symbol, to hell with it,” in response to a friend who described the Eucharist as a “pretty good symbol.”

There have been over 150 Eucharistic miracles in the catholic church where Eucharist actually takes the form and shape of the body and blood of Jesus. 5 Eucharistic miracles have happened in 21st century.

Let us discuss some of the Eucharistic miracles

Lanciano,Italy(8th Century)

There was a priest who doubted the actual presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.He was celebrating the Holy Mass and he began saying the words of consecration. As he said "This is my body" and "This is my blood", the bread and wine turned into real human flesh and blood.Blood then coagulated into 5 globules. You can still visit them at the lanciano's church in sanfrancesco

Legnica, Poland(2013)

On a Christmas day Msgr. Zbigniew Kiernikowski picked up a consecrated host that had accidentally fallen to the floor. He placed it in water to dissolve. Suddenly, a reddish color appeared on the consecrated host. Testing ensued, with the results finding that the host contained striated tissue from a human heart.

Chirattakonam, India (2001)

During Eucharistic Adoration at St. Mary’s parish, three red stains suddenly appeared on the Eucharistic host. Unsure of what to do, the priest placed the host back into the tabernacle. Several days later, the priest looked at the host more closely. The red stains had arranged themselves to look like a man. He found a photographer to take pictures of the host, and today, many consider the shape of the face to be that of Jesus.

Tixtla, Mexico (2006)

During a retreat Mass at the Parish of St. Martin of Tours, a consecrated host began secreting a red substance. The diocese immediately contracted a study to determine its origin and cause. Microscopic analysis shows that the reddish liquid was secreting from within the host. After testing the liquid, it was determined to be blood of the AB group. As late as 2010, analyses showed that fresh blood continued to secrete from within the host long after the initial observation.
