A miracle is in the eye of the beholder.
I’m afraid, in this case, all I see is bacteria growing on wet bread. A simple test should confirm or disprove that. I was under the impression that properly dissolving a (I assume) consecrated host was a big deal, requiring immediate attention, and not just being put in a glass of water and ‘noticed’ 3 days later…though 3 days does have biblical significance.

from another thread I seem to recall that the placing in water ‘separates’ / reverses, the transubstantiation?

I’m sorry if I sound pessimistic , but my given christian name IS Thomas!

Have a happy Thanksgiving!
 
As Crusaderbear, I also take a somewhat skeptical stance on these cases.

In cases like this, two things are important: 1) what the relevant committees decide, 2) the fruit of said “miracles”.

So-called miracles are often forgotten in a matter of months; not so with things like the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, or any of the approved Marian apparitions. After Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego, the whole country became Catholic in a relatively short time – much, much quicker than what the evangelistic activity of the Church was accomplishing at the time. That’s a rather notable fruit. 👍
 
I am going to keep an open mind on this until the investigation is complete. I hope it is true.
 
I will keep my mind open also. this is similar to what happened in Argentina when our current Pope was archbiship and was involved in the Eucharistic miracle that occurred.

Me too, but God does give us reminders of HIS Divine Presence thru a Eucharistic Miracle, ever so often. God Bless, Memaw
 
Odd, question, perhaps, but why would the Host be returned? I’m not sure I get it… sorry if it’s really obvious and I’m being dense.

Doesn’t say in the story so I’m not sure. Maybe it fell on the ground and had to be properly handled and disposed of, I think dissolving it in water and then pouring down a drain in the sacristy that goes right into the earth is a proper way to do it. Not 100% on that one

On my FB feed, from a priest friend of mine: “If someone spits a host out or it becomes soiled, I would rather not consume it myself. The standard procedure is to place the host in s cup of water for a few days until it dissolves and then to pour the water out on an undisturbed piece of ground.”

According to the story I just read here a young boy received communion from the priest but he either had not yet had his first communion or else he wasn’t Catholic, so a relative returned the host. You’re correct about the proper disposal of the host, it should be dissolved in water and poured in the sacrarium.

They have a special sink that goes right into the ground to pour it in. God Bless, Memaw
 
This is a much better article than the first one I read about it. In that one it was clear the person writing the article had no clue about the Catholic Church or Catholicism. I’m excited to hear the results.
 
I am too, and Msgr. Manninon is a good , devout, and fair priest.
 
Perhaps miracles like this are a sign to bring the Church back to a full belief in the real presence of Christ as the Eucharist?

How often is the Eucharist viewed as an automatic right, as something we are entitled to as part of our ‘membership’ of the club? How often do we receive the Eucharist casually, as a matter of course, as something that we just do when we attend Mass? How often is the Eucharist received when we are not in a state of grace to receive? How often, even by us Catholics, is the Eucharist viewed merely as a symbol of the divine, rather than as the divine?

I think that at this time in the Church’s history we need to focus on the Eucharist, rather than on ourselves. The Church needs such miracles.

A Miracle is an act of GOD, not in the eye of the beholder. Our ‘eye’ has nothing to do with it. As for the 3 days, it just depends on how soon the Host dissolves, (If it dissolves, Our Lord is no longer present), and believe me I am willing to bet it didn’t set there “unnoticed” during that time. We all have to wait till it is confirmed. We should not jump ahead of the Church. God Bless, Memaw
