I’m sure many of you have seen or heard about the ebay auction of a Consecrated Host on ebay. I received the following email from the person who used “buy it now” to end the auction. Just like the conversion of Saul/Paul, our Lord “has shown the strength of his arm” (cf. Lk 1:46-55)
----------- Attached email --------------
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but as you can imagine, I have been flooded with emails.
However, so as to ease your fears, I am a very devout and traditional Catholic and a 3rd Degree Catholic Knights of Columbus member. So I take my Catholic faith very seriously. And although money is tight for me, I could not take the chance of this host falling into the wrong hands.
So I did what I needed to do to protect the Eucharist, I committed myself to the seller that I would purchase the Eucharist at the buy it now price of $2000, thus ending the auction. Once I received the Eucharist I would then give it to the Church.
However, due to all the prayers coming in from devout Catholics like yourselves from all over the planet, the ending has changed.
Apparently the seller has had a change of heart. The seller asked me if I wouldn’t mind canceling the eBay purchase of the Eucharist, So instead of me spending $2000 for the Eucharist and then giving it to the church, the seller will not sell the Eucharist, but instead, give it to the Catholic Church himself. Now thats an answer to prayer!
Your emails of kind words, suggestions, concerns and prayers were all very much appreciated.
But I wasn’t the only one who prayed and stepped forward to protect the Eucharist with my purchase. Everyone of you who emailed your concerns and offered up your prayers, along with thousands of other Catholics all over the planet in horror of what was happening also prayed. Miracles happen when we pray. And this surely was a Miracle the way it all turned out. All of you played a part. I truly believe all the prayers offered, helped to bring this situation to an acceptable close.
It’s unfortunate though, for once the Eucharist was listed on eBay, it didn’t matter whether or not it was sold, in fact, the seller could have had second thoughts and had it immediately pulled. But still, it would have been too late, for now the damage had been done. Already we’re seeing copycats looking for easy money at Our Lord’s expense. I ask you, as you prayed before, please continue praying for this sacrilege to stop!
Again, Thank you for your support and your prayers. Please note the following Press Release:
