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.

EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES

How come we never hear the results of these tests of miracles? I recall recently a statue of Mary that allegedly cried tears of blood. Samples were taken for testing (probably as part of the Vatican's miracle confirmation process?)...yet no word on those results.

I wonder if we'll ever hear the results of this alleged miracle. Appears that they have a good sample for testing anyways. I'm curious of the results.

The priest placed it in water to dissolve it.

Why would the priest do this?

[Romulus]

there appears to be an incredible Eucharistic Miracle that occurred

If the miracle is truly "incredible", what's all the fuss about?

[Malacoda]

Wow. Twelve posts, and no one has showed up to bash, bait or troll.

THAT may be a miracle in itself!

Wow!

Of course the substance of the Host turns to Christ's literal Flesh every time the mass is celebrated, but to see its accidents transformed as well...

I eagerly await the outcome of the diocesan investigation. Thanks for the heads-up.

Some years ago (early 1990s) a priest in a neighboring parish had some surplus hosts to dispose of. As noted in previous posts, the proper procedure is to dissolve them in water, so they are no long "hosts," then dispose of them in a reverent manner. This priest did indeed place the hosts in a glass of water, then forgot about them. Later, when the water had dried up, he found a reddish crust around the inside of the glass.

Neither the priest nor I have any idea what the crust was. Blood? Iron in the water? Something else? At the meeting I attended, the priest simply stated the sequence of events with no interpretation. He stated further that the Bishop had warned him not to "start a cult."

The glass, with the material still in it, was taken (confiscated?) by a Chancery official "to be studied." In all the years since then, there has been no further news. I suspect that the glass ended up in the Church's equivalent of that warehouse portrayed in the last scene of the first Indiana Jones movie.

My immediate reaction, on hearing of the event, was that God wouldn't embarrass our liberal Bishop by performing a Euchararistic Miracle in this Diocese. I've seen or heard nothing since then to change my mind.

Having said that, I do recognize that occasionally God does perform a Eucharistic Miracle just to reassure us of what we already belive regarding the Real Presence.

I don't understand.

I thought the Eucharist always was the actual blood and skin of Christ.

I'm sorry, I love my Catholic brethren but this has all the hallmarks of, at best, sensationalism and, at worst, "God as a science project exhibit." Either is wrong.

Any chance we'll see a DNA test? If the nuclear and mtDNA is characteristically Semitic, but the Y-chromosome matches no human lineage on earth... hmmm... If it matches the DNA of the medieval eucharistic sample from Italy... hmm....

Inquiring minds want to know!

I live in this Diocese, and heard about this yesterday evening. (I would have known about it before my friend, if I had only logged on yesterday morning and read your post. As usual, FReepers are the first to know!) I will try to learn more about it and will keep you updated.

Can anything miraculous come from Dallas?
