…“What is this Real Presence?” In one declarative sentence - It is Jesus Christ - true God, but, with emphasis, also - true man. It is the same identical Jesus who changed water into wine at Cana in Galilee. The same who invited Peter to come to Him walking on the water. The Real Presence is the real Jesus with real flesh and real blood, with the same hands and feet and open side that He told the doubting Thomas to touch and believe.
Once this fact dawns on a person - (It is not dawned on everyone who calls himself a Catholic; how well I know). - But once this fact dawns on our minds that Christ performed His miracles as God but through His human nature as man, then the inevitable happens. That person’s faith is rewarded by the experience of miracles.

From Fr. Hardon: therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/m_worker.htm

I think he is right. Do you think it would bring about a miracle if we would do as he says?

Although a miracle is difficult to pin down. I would say tho that there have been certainly some very unusual happenings tho I don’t have proof that it was actually a miracle.

But I also think that a person is rewarded with a joy, love, and closeness to Jesus in these moments before him in the Sacrament. And who can count the many times he does do something special for us without our being aware of it.

Maybe there is something you can share with us about the power of Jesus in the Eucharist…

Fr. John A. Hardon SJ is on the path to Canonization. He was a very Holy Man and worked with the Vatican for many years. He truly encourages visiting with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and I would ask that we all ask Fr. Hardon to pray for us and for our country. He was devoted to helping sanctify the family and we all know the family is under attack in so many ways today. We need his help desperately. God Bless, Memaw
 
I’m always trying to steer my friends towards Fr. John A. Hardon. His talks and writings are truly inspiring.
