It’s a strange time we live in that most people—even professed Christians—don’t really believe in miracles.
The majority of civilizations throughout history have believed in miracles. But for some reason, people in the 21st century seem to think they’re too advanced—too enlightened—to believe in miracles.
But if miracles do happen… wouldn’t that change everything?
Miracles do happen and we can 100% verifiably prove it to you!
And not just some amazing phenomenon that happened hundreds of years ago that a Bishop in an obscure country looked at and declared was a miracle, either.
Today we'll be discussing Eucharistic Miracles, one of which happened as recently as 2006, another which has been unexplainably preserved for more than 1,000 years, and several of which have undergone extensive scientific testing by organizations as esteemed as the World Health Organization to prove the validity of the miraculous claims!
But before we get too excited, we must ask an important question: Why does God perform miracles?
Some reasons we know, but others we may never know.
One reason God does perform miracles is to spark faith in us, His beloved children. We can often wrestle with the idea of there being an invisible God until we see some sort of proof.
Another reason God may choose to perform a miracle is to show that someone, something, or some message He has sent to us is actually from Him, and not an imposter.
For example: When Jesus was preaching, healing the sick, and casting out demons among the Jews, some of those who observed his miracles accused him of working for the Devil. To that, Jesus said, “No house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand?” (Matthew 12:25-26)
In other words: Look at the miracles I am performing and see the good that is evident in them. God would not allow a false prophet to perform good miracles in His name.
And that is why we highlight Eucharistic miracles in today’s video.
Time and again throughout history, with no exception in our own times, people have called the validity of the Eucharist into question.
“Did Jesus really mean “Eat my flesh and drink my blood?” Or was it merely a metaphor?”
“Is Jesus truly present in the Eucharist as the Church teaches, or is it just a symbol?”
The miracles we present in today’s video are just a few out of the hundreds of documented and verified Eucharistic miracles throughout Church history, not to mention the countless miracles experienced by the faithful throughout the centuries.
As you watch today's video and begin to research Eucharistic miracles on your own, ask yourself this question: "Why would God perform miracles like these through the Eucharist, if not to show that He is TRULY present in the sacrament as the Church teaches?"
