Are there Modern Eucharistic Miracles?

[jackpuffin]

The phenomenon alleged as a miracle of the Eucharist fallen from heaven is contradictory to the doctrine of the Catholic Church that says that only through the legitimately ordained priest’s consecration does the sacrament of the Eucharist begin to exist

What about other times when saints recieved the Eucharist from the hands of an angel or our Lord?

(i) St. Clement, Bishop of Ancyra (4th Century), received Communion from Our Lord, while in prison awaiting martyrdom.

(ii) St. Bonaventure (d. 1274) received Communion from an angel.

(iii) St. Catherine of Siena (d. 1380) received Communion from Our Lord and also from angels.

(iv) St. Pascal Babylon (d. 1592) received Communion from an angel many times.

(v) St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi (d. 1607) also received Communion from Our Lord.

(vi) In Fatima, an angel brought a chalice and a Sacred Host to the three children (1917).

After all, Christ is a priest and could consecrate them himself. Besides the fact that the hosts could have been taken from Tabernacles on earth.

All in all, I am just presenting the other side of the argument. Obedience to the Magesterium of the Church is my first intention. I don’t have an opinion one way or another regarding Naju. I stick with the Church. And since Rome has said nothing (only the local bishop) I make no assumptions…

no doubt there are modern Eucharistic miracles, which when and if they occur and are seen to occur, derive from the original miracle of the Paschal Mystery as it is celebrated and in which we participate in the Eucharist. the presence or absence of miracles is not a requirement for validation of the Eucharist or the holy sacrifice of the Mass. the Mass given to us by the Church, in whatever approved rite we celebrate, is the Mass given to us by Christ. To deny it is to deny Christ.

How do you explain the miracle of Lanciano Italy when the host actually changed into a piece of heart tissue? That’s the most toted Eucharistic miracle of them all. According to this info, that one is not a real miracle!!!

I would note that while the bishop’s authority in forbidding her to promote the phenomena must be followed out of obedience, his reasoning process is not “infallible” – note that the imprimatur has been granted to some books which speak approvingly of such miracles (at least implying that there is no danger to the faith in believing them).
Certainly Jesus could cause the appearance of the Host to change to whatever He wanted. Apparently many others have found that this kind of alleged miracle does increase faith in the Real Presence. I’m not knocking this bishop’s judgement, just pointing out that other bishops apparently have not reached the conclusion he came to, at least implicitly.

But as PuzzleAnnie says, regardless, our faith in the Real Presence does not rely on the veracity of any of this type of miracle.
