The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is truly present — body, blood, soul, and divinity — in the Eucharist. We are blessed to have the opportunity to receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament every day at Mass, and at our parish, we have access to Jesus in the Adoration Chapel 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Because the Host is not merely a piece of bread, but Jesus himself in the flesh, the Eucharist has the same ability to heal and perform miracles in our lives as the stories we read of Jesus performing miracles in the gospels. Our parish has hosted Eucharistic miracle exhibits featuring well-documented miracles from around the world. However, there are countless healings and miracles that regular Catholics experience every day. Several weeks ago, there was an announcement in the bulletin asking parishioners to send me their personal Eucharistic miracle stories to share. Here are just a few that were shared.
