Each week as we assemble in Mass to worship our Lord Jesus Christ, we are reminded of one of the foundational teachings of our Catholic faith: the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist (CCC #1373). At each and every Mass around the world, Jesus becomes fully present in the Eucharist through the divine mystery of transubstantiation. While the gifts brought to the Altar during the preparation are bread and wine, during the consecration, they truly and actually become the Real Body and Blood of our Lord (CCC #1375).
From time to time, through His Will, our Lord emphasizes this reality to us. During the 8th century in Lanciano, Italy a priest was experiencing doubts about the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. While he was saying Mass, as he spoke the words “This is my body”, “This is my blood.” He saw the bread and wine transform into real human flesh. The flesh has been preserved to this day. In 1971 a scientific analysis was performed.  The flesh was found to be cardiac tissue and the blood appeared fresh – although it was actually over 1200 years old at the time, and there were no traces of preservatives.
In the 13th century, a similar miracle happened to a priest while celebrating Mass in Bolsena, Italy. After consecrating the host, the host began to bleed with the drops falling onto a corporal (a cloth placed on the Altar.) The cloth is still on display today in Orvieto, Italy. 
In the last two millennia hundreds of Eucharistic Miracles have occurred and have continued into modern times: there have been miracles in Venezuela in 1991, Argentina in 1996, India in 2001, Mexico in 2006, and Poland in 2008.
As there have been more than I’m able to write about today, I invite you to learn about many of these miracles.  Each week, throughout the year from July 2023 to June 2024, we will post stories of Eucharistic Miracles on our website to read and/or print them that were combined by Blessed Carlos Acutis. 
As a parish, let's renew our devotion to the source and summit of Our Faith in the celebration of the Eucharist.
