Well, take a look at the apparitions that have been deemed to be false over the years (I think of Bayside as a recent example).

And look at issues of hysteria that we see on a regular basis. ("Virgin Mary" on a piece of toast and all).

I understand discerning the above. Bayside was disapproved by the Bishop many years ago. It does take alot of prayer and discernment about those that claim to be getting messages from Jesus and Mary. The Eucharist there is no need for discernment for me.

“The Eucharist there is no need for discernment for me”

Nor for me. But stories do. No offense. And there are people who would, I am concerned, either use or abuse the Blessed Sacrament for what could be their own ends. For example, Julia Kim raises the hair on the back of my neck. Not because of any alleged Eucharistic Miracle, but because I see her using them to advance her”career” as a seer.

Maybe I am wrong with what I see, but I know I won’t be wrong letting the Church evaluate before either accepting something with Catholic Faith.
