Eucharistic Miracle Offida, Italy 1273
-
May 4, 2022
A newly-wed couple were not getting along well. The wife was of the opinion that her husband was not treating her with respect so she went to a local witch to see if she could help. The witch told her, “Go to the Mass. Receive Holy Communion. Bring it home, put it into a pot and burn it. Then put the ashes in your husband’s food and I guarantee that your husband will treat you better.”
The wife was not comfortable about following the witch’s advice but she did it. As soon as she put the Host in the heated pot, smoke came from it. It turned into flesh and started to bleed. The center of the Host continued to look like a Host. But as the pot was filling up with blood she went into a panic, threw dirt into the pot, put a table cloth around it and ran outside, dug a hole in a manure heap and buried everything in it.
That evening, when the husband came home, he found his mule to be particularly stubborn, and the animal even went into an adoration-like position beside the manure heap.
Time went on. Seven years in fact, and the wife was not being treated any better. She decided to tell the story to a priest who came, dug out the pot and found the Host inside. It had not decayed in any way.
That Host can be seen today in Offida, near the Church of St. Augustine, almost 750 years later.
This miracle shows us:- Jesus keeps His promises that He would give us His Flesh to eat and His Blood to drink (John 6:48-59).
- At every Mass, for the last 2,000 years, when the priest says the words of consecration (this is My Body and this is My Blood) the bread and wine are changed into the Body, Blood, Soul, Divinity of Jesus Christ. All Christians believed this miracle happens at Mass for the first 1,500 years until the Protestant Reformation.
- The red blood cells in fresh blood break down over time (24 to 48 hours.) without refrigeration.
