Faith and Eucharistic Miracles: My Lord and My God

Fulton Sheen once said that those who have problems with faith almost always have a problem with the Eucharist. The center of our Catholic faith is Jesus Christ really present in the tabernacles of the world under the appearances of bread and wine. Jesus walked the earth (past tense), but He continues to live among us on the earth (present tense) through His divine presence. That belief is the fundamental reality of our faith

But God never asks for blind or mindless faith. When He walked with the apostles He gave testimony to Himself through His miracles. And throughout the centuries He has continued to do that even down to the present day.

So if you have doubts about the faith, study the Eucharistic miracles. If you have trouble believing that Christ is really present in the host, study the Eucharistic miracles. Look into the eyes of Christ and hear him say, as He did to Thomas, "Do not persist in your unbelief, but believe." What other response can one have to Jesus, but "My Lord and my God!"

  2. The Eucharistic miracle of Buenos Aires is truly a great story for our times, to know more about it and the scientific investigation go to website following. The author of the book "Reason to Believe" worked with Dr Castanon in the investigation. www.reasontobelieve.com.au

  3. I have just read the article on some recent Eucharistic miracles in the latest edition of Les Femmes including the story of the blind man who attended the film in Australia, and - having prayed for his sight to be restored in order to see the film - had his sight restored only for the duration of the film. Wonderful story! I would love to post the entire article on our blog, as one of the first of the new year, so if it is possible to email me a Word document copy, that would be great. If not, can't be helped. My email is editor@catholictruthscotland.com

    A very happy new year to everyone at Les Femmes.
