"So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed."
(John 6:53-55)
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.
Most Eucharistic miracles involve incidences in which the Host
has "turned into human flesh and blood". Of course we as Catholics believe that
the consecrated Host is the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, only under the
appearances of bread and wine. Therefore, Jesus, through these miracles, merely manifests
His Presence in a more tangible way.
"Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and see my
hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but
believing.' Thomas answered him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Have you
believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet
believe.'" (Jn 20:27-29)

Sienna, Italy -- August 17, 1730
Consecrated Hosts remain perfectly preserved for over 250 years. Rigorous scientific
experiments have not been able to explain this phenomena.
Blanot, France -- March 31, 1331
The Eucharist falls out of a woman's mouth onto an altar rail cloth. The priest tries
to recover the Host but all that remains is a large spot of blood the same size and
dimensions as the wafer.
Bolsena-Orvieta, Italy
Again, a priest has difficulties believing in the Real Presence, and blood begins
seeping out of the Host upon consecration. Because of this miracle, Pope Urban IV
commissioned the feast of Corpus Christi, which is still celebrated today.
Lanciano, Italy -- 8th century A.D.
A priest has doubts about the Real Presence; however, when he consecrates the Host it
transforms into flesh and blood. This miracle has undergone extensive scientific
examination and can only be explained as a miracle. The flesh is actually cardiac tissue
which contains arterioles, veins, and nerve fibers. The blood type as in all other
approved Eucharistic miracles is type AB! Histological micrographs are shown.
