Eucharistic Miracles and Eucharistic Phenomena in the Lives of the Saints by Joan Carroll Cruz

Eucharistic Miracles and Eucharistic Phenomena in the Lives of the Saints by Joan Carroll Cruz

On numerous occasions in the history of the Church, God has seen fit to offer miraculous visible proof of the Catholic teaching that at the sacred words of Consecration in the Mass, the bread and wine upon the altar are truly changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Joan Carroll Cruz's Eucharistic Miracles recounts 36 such major Eucharistic miracles in Church history. She tells of Hosts which have turned to visible flesh, Hosts which have bled, Hosts which have become hard as flint when received by a person in mortal sin, Hosts which have levitated, Hosts which have manifested their hidden presence by mysterious lights, consecrated "wine" which turned into visible blood, etc., as well as many miracles which occurred after sacrilege had been committed against the Holy Eucharist. The events told here cover a wide historical gamut, the first miracle described being that of Lanciano, Italy in the 8th century and the last that of Stich, Bavaria in 1970. The author details the official investigations made into these remarkable events, and in many cases tells where the miraculous Hosts or Blood can still be seen and venerated today. Also described here are many miraculous Eucharistic phenomena in the lives of the Saints: Mrs. Cruz tells of Saints who lived on the Eucharist alone, Saints who had raptures and ecstasies during Holy Communion, Saints who received Communion miraculously, and Saints who experienced levitations, visions, locutions, and phenomena of tears, fire and light in relation to their reception of the Eucharist. Plus, another section of the book gives the history of Eucharistic devotions, including Benediction, the Feast of Corpus Christi, and perpetual adoration. To read the accounts of the amazing miracles related here -- events unexplained and unexplainable by science -- is to realize anew the literal truth of the Church's ancient doctrine of the Real Presnece. "Eucharistic Miracles" is destined to be for many people a powerful confirmation of the truth of the Catholic Faith by confirming the truth of one of the loftiest mysteries of the Catholic religion -- the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. INCLUDES EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES OF: Lanciano, Italy Braine, France Ferrara, Italy Augsburg, Germany Alatri, Italy Santarem, Portugal The Two Miracles of Stich, Germany and more, including many instances of Eucharistic phenomena in the lives of the saints Eucharist Miracles and Eucharistic Phenomena in the Lives of the Saints Detailed accounts of miraculous Eucharistic phenomena Powerful and awe-inspiring Come to a new reverence and love for the Eucharist 8.47 x 5.51 x 0.69 inches

Celebrating the Mass: A Guide for Understanding and Loving the Mass More Deeply by Fr. Alfred McBride, O.Praem

Father McBride extends to all an earnest invitation to know and love the Mass more deeply. The Catechism of the Catholic Church calls the Eucharist "the heart and summit of the Church's life" (1407). Certainly we are called to participate as fully and enthusiastically as possible. Along with the official texts of the Ordinary of the Mass are Father McBride's enlightening explanations. An ideal prayer companion, Celebrating the Mass is a convenient guide for all who seek a better understanding of this, our most sacred banquet, and to celebrate more profoundly the great mystery of love we call the Mass. Celebrating the Mass: A Guide for Understanding and Loving the Mass More Deeply The scriptural and historical background of the Last Supper The tremendous significance of the Eucharist and what really happens All four Eucharistic prayer show they differ in focus and what elements remain the same The liturgical sights and sounds, altar vessels, furnishings, and vestments
