Today I am going to blog about the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano. This miracle took place in the 8th century. There was a divine response to a Basilian monks doubt about the Eucharist. This man did not fully believe that Christ was truly present in the Eucharist. During a mass at the Church of St. Legontian, the host was transformed into live flesh and the wine was changed into true blood. The blood was made into five globules. Religious investigations over this miracle occurred in 1574 and in 1970-1981 scientific investigations took place. Professor Odoardo and Professor Ruggero carried out the scientific investigation.Their analysis of the Eucharist came out with the following conclusions.
1. The Flesh is real Flesh and the Blood is real Blood.
2. Both belong to a human species
3. The flesh is a “heart” complete in its structure.
4. The preservation of the Flesh and Blood are still an extraordinary phenomenon.
By these analysis’ we know that Christ is truly present in our Eucharist. Science helped explain this for us. We as Catholics do not fully throw out the things science can help us figure out. We should have this as a reminder to always know God is present among us.
