In the 8th century in Lanciano, Italy a priest who doubted the Real
Presence of the Eucharist began to go through the motions of saying
his daily Mass. At the moment of Consecration, the Bread miraculously
turned into a piece of heart muscle and the wine changed to blood.
This miracle can still be seen even today. This is just one of dozens of
miracles that have happened over the years to help us grow in belief
of the Eucharist, the Source and Summit of our faith. There is an
amazing website now in the Links section that documents these
church-approved miracles. I highly recommend it for students AND
parents. This Lent, may we remember that "faith tells us that Christ is present, when our human senses fail."
