A Miracle in Lanciano
The most basic Eucharistic Miracle is the Consecration itself when at every Mass the
bread and wine are changed completely and utterly in to the Body and the Blood of Jesus
Christ. Over the centuries, other “Eucharistic Miracles” have taken place to help to
strengthen Christians’ belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. The most
ancient of these is believed to be the one which took place around the year 700 A.D. in a
town called Lanciano, which is close to the eastern or Adriatic Coast of Italy. On that
occasion the consecrated host became a piece of bleeding flesh. The flesh and blood
were investigated scientifically in recent times and the flesh was found to be human heart
tissue and the blood was found to be human blood of the AB type – the same type as
found on the Shroud of Turin.
EWTN (Sky channel 589 and UPC/ Chorus channel 815) will broadcast a one-hour
documentary on this Eucharistic miracle entitled “A Miracle in Lanciano” this coming
week on the following days: Sunday, 9th September , at 3.00a.m.;
Wednesday, 12th September, at 8.00a.m.; Thursday, 13th September, at 9.30p.m..
This documentary promises to be very interesting and inspiring!

Mount St. Joseph’s Abbey, Roscrea: The Cistercian Monks welcome people from very
varied backgrounds to their Guesthouse, a place of peace and serenity. Some may just
want a quiet time to reflect and rest, away from the stress of everyday life, while others
may be seeking solace in distress or trying to discern the Lord’s will for them.
Whatever! Why not avail of the experience that the serenity of the place and the calm of
the Guesthouse gives to nourish you during your stay and, hopefully, stay with you when
you leave and return to your everyday life. There are also many fine walks around the
grounds, giving the visitor time and space to enjoy the peaceful landscape of this area.
