Among the several miracles that have taken place in
the Catholic religion, Miracles of Eucharist hold a special significance.
In Santarem, Portugal, a woman who was convinced that
her husband was unfaithful to her and did not love her approached a sorceress
who promised her that if she could bring her a Consecrated host her husband
would start loving her. She approached the St. Steven Church and got the
communion but did not eat it and after coming out put it in her veil. On her
way to the sorceress the Host started to bleed and when this was brought to her
notice she got frightened and rushed to her home instead of going for the sorceress.
She hid the host inside a trunk and did not tell anything about it to her
husband. Later in the night the whole room was lit by the bright light coming
out from the trunk. She confessed her sin and they kept praying till the
morning when a local parish was called. The host was taken to the church and
was encased in wax and kept in tabernacle. When it was opened sometime later
the priest was amazed to see that the wax had broken and the host and the
precious blood were enclosed in a crystal pyx.
In Amsterdam which in 1345 was a small fishing hamlet,
a fisherman who was on his death bed requested the local priest to give him the
Holy Communion which the priest acceded to. Soon after the priest left, the man
started coughing and threw out the host still intact. His wife threw the Host
into the fireplace but soon regretted her action. She could not take out the
Host because of the heat. Due to her guilt, she could not sleep properly and
when she got up next morning she was amazed to see that the Host nothing had
happened to the Host and it was still fresh and brilliant. Taking it out she
kept it in a chest after wrapping it in a clean linen cloth. The local priest
was told about the story and decided that it was best to take the Host back to
the church and it was placed in the tabernacle. The next day he was shocked
that the Host had disappeared and was found at the home of the fisherman. Frightened,
the wife took the Host to the priest who again placed it in the church but the
same thing occurred again. Another Miracle that took place was that the
fisherman who was on his death bed recovered completely. 100 years later, a
great fire engulfed Amsterdam and most of the houses including the house of the
fisherman which now was the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament caved in. But again
a Miracle took place and it was found that the Host had remained unscathed
along with the silk veil which covered it. One cannot explain any natural
reason for the same and can only be attributed to a Miracle of the Great Lord.
