I always said that we are living in a world full of miracles . Miracles are so common that we don't even recognize them as such.
One of the greatest miracles of catholic faith is Eucharistic Miracles .
"So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.'" (John 6:53-55 )
Most Eucharistic miracles involve incidences in which the Host has "turned into human flesh and blood". Of course we as Catholics believe that the consecrated Host is the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, only under the appearances of bread and wine. Therefore, Jesus, through these miracles, merely manifests His Presence in a more tangible way.
But there are so many other miracles like Holy marial aparitions ( Meddugorje , Fatima and everywhere in the hole world ) . I think that we are blessed to be catholics and to have this great gift of real presence of Divinity on Earth . Blessings for all catholic people and not only for them !
Danielle, I agree with you. We all know of the huge miracles which take place in Lourdes and other places, but we see miracles on a daily basis. Miracles where people who hated the Church and who, through the prayers and sacrifices of their loved ones, return to the Faith, for example. I have met several people cured of terminal illness by faith.
Eucharistic miracles are a wonderful gift to us from God. The most famous one of all is the one which took place at Lanciano, Italy, several centuries ago. The host changed to heart muscle and there were also globules of blood. They exist to this very day. Scientists have examined the sacred species and have confirmed that it is human blood and heart tissue. Here is one link which describes this miraculous event, but there are many other sites about it.
In more recent times, a host in Betania, Venezuela, developed a red blood spot during Mass. The same host later changed to tissue and there was a pulse in it. A man was able to video it and it really took my breath away when I saw the clip. Here it is, and I would encourage everyone to look at this and consider the richness of our Faith and the many gifts which are bestowed upon us. Just click on 'see video.'
Thank you, Danielle. I have heard a lot about the apparitions at El-Zeitoun but had never heard of Assiut. It is really interesting and just what is needed at this time and in that place.

Thank you Danielle for your thoughts on miracles.
I thank God everyday for the small miracles I encounter...being guided to the Benedictine monastery, whose sisters are a blessing to me and whose love and support helped me from losing my faith when I was gravely wounded by betrayal. God truely has us carved in the palms of his hands as the holy bible says and never loses sight of us.
Love,
Karen

Eucharist Miracle March 21, 2006 2:40 PM
There have been reports of a Eucharistic Miracle in Dallas, USA. There are many such signs these days, not all of them genuine, but if ever the world needed some encouragement it is now, so it is no wonder that we are being sent signs.
Divine Mercy Image 'Comes to Life' March 21, 2006 2:45 PM
A man took a photo of the Divine Mercy Image at St. Peter in Chains Church, Rome, Italy. When he looked at it later he noticed that the image appeared to be glowing as if it were alive. Please click on the Divine Mercy Image when the page opens and you will see it for yourselves.
Praise Lord who is great miracles and blessed signes !
Thank you James for this site ! It's awesome and the picture is giving so much peace . Even we can see it on computer is so bright and so comforting to look on .
Some of the greatest true miracles from Our Blessed Mother Mary March 28, 2006 2:54 AM
Since the beginning of the 20th Century we have been blessed in a most special way, such as has not been given to us since Our Lord lived on earth. Heaven has poured out a wonderful array of Gifts and Graces to teach us how live in holiness and in peace with God and with each other.
Most importantly Our Blessed Lady has, since the beginning of this time, visited many places and people, granting great Blessings of Faith, of Healing, of Hope for Her dearly loved children on earth.
Our Beloved Lord has spoken to many of His children, issuing warnings of the cost of evil actions, calling us ever to prayer, confession, fasting in order to purify our souls that we may be fit to inherit that Kingdom made ready for us, His own beloved home in Heaven. He has most kindly allowed certain of His children to write His own Words, as the book Poem of The Man God shows.
The Great Suffering endured by Our Lord and the Tears shed daily by Our Lady must not be overlooked. We have received the 'Final Warning' that Satan is making his war against Heaven as prophesied in the Book of Revelation. These last times and the evil on earth cause Immense Distress to Heaven. We must pray every day for the forgiveness of sin and the salvation of all souls.
1. In 1899 the 'End Times' warning was first given by Our Lord to Saint Gemma Galgani. In 1903 her message, granted to her by Lord Jesus Christ, was delivered to The Vatican. Saint Gemma Galgani shared in the Sufferings of Our Lord and bore the Stigmata and the Marks of Scourging.
2. Between May and October 1917 we were greatly blessed by the Most Holy Presence of Our Lady, speaking to three small children in Fatima, Portugal. We were warned that, although the present war would soon end, there would be another, much worse war if mankind did not turn back to God. We were warned too of the rise of Communism and of the spread of Russia's errors throughout the world. Our Lady also promised 'In the end My Immaculate Heart will Triumph'.
3. At this time a young priest in Italy was greatly blessed to receive the Most Holy Presence of Our Lord in his life. Our dear Padre Pio bore the Wounds of Christ from that time until just before he died in 1968. There are many miracles surrounding the gift given to Padre Pio, gifts of healing, his gift of bilocation - he was seen in the Vatican while he was at home in Pietrelcina. He also seemed to know people's sins before they confessed to him. To this day people are testifying to having seen Padre Pio and of his telling them that they were healed of their illnesses.
4. In 1932 Our Lady visited Beauraing in Belgium, speaking to 5 small children and calling the world to prayer. The following year Our Lady visited Banneux, Belgium again speaking to a child. Here a spring was blessed.
5. In 1937 a young sister Faustina was very greatly blessed, as Padre Pio was, by the Most Holy Presence of Our Lord. To Saint Faustina was given the Great Blessing of Divine Mercy.
6. In 1945 in Amsterdam, Holland Ida Peerdeman was blessed to receive many visions and messages from Our Lady. These also were prophetic and have been published in book form. Our Lady here said 'I am The Lady of All Nations'.
7. Another sign in these times is that of Pope John Paul 1, who occupied the chair of Peter for only 33 days before he died.
8. In 1961 once again Our Lady blessed this earth with Her Most Holy Presence, speaking to four your people in Garabandal, Spain. Our Lady was accompanied by Saint Michael the Holy Archangel. Here it was announced that a great Chastisement was to be given to earth. There would be first a Warning followed by Chastisement of all evil and A Miracle would follow. All sick people who were present at that time would be healed.
9. A gentleman in Cairo received a blessing in a dream in which Our Lady asked him to build a church on land he owned, promising that later it would be consecrated in a special way. In 1968, for three and a half years, this church and the people there were greatly blessed by the Most Holy Presence of Our Lady. It is one of the most beautiful of blessings. Clouds of pink or red incense were seen to billow from the closed windows of the church, doves flew above the Blessed Virgin's head, Our Lady carried in her hand an olive branch and blessed the millions who gathered there, healing many who were sick. This is where The Holy Family lived after leaving Bethlehem. The Book of Revelation describes three and a half years in the wilderness. The Blessing of Zeitun is most beautiful. The town of Assiut has been blessed in a similar way.
10. In 1973 Our Lady spoke in Akita, Japan. Again the world was warned of a Great Chastisement and we were called to pray, fast and repent our sins. A statue in the convent shed tears of oil 101 times.
11. On 24th June 1981, the Feast of Saint John the Baptist, following a night of great thunderstorms, the village of Medjugorje in Croatia was very greatly blessed by the Most Holy Presence of Our Lady, who was seen standing on a hillside and holding in her hand a rosary. The following day six children were blessed to speak to The Blessed Virgin who called again for prayer, fasting and confession of sin. To this day Our Lady still visits Medjugorje daily, giving us beautiful loving messages each month, though at first they were given each week, in order to help us toward the path of Holiness. Many healings have been given, many conversions of the heart, and among the Gifts given to pilgrims, rosaries have turned to gold and the beautiful Miracle of The Sun has been seen as at Fatima.
12. On the first anniversary of the terrible accident at Chernobyl, Our Lady of Sorrows was seen there. There are many sites in Russia and Ukraine, China, India where Our Lady has been seen.
13. For five years, between 1990 and 1995 Our Lady spoke to children in Litmanova, Slovakia again calling us to prayer, fasting and confession of sins.
14. There have been so many blessings given to people in other places. Our Blessed Mother spoke recently in Aokpe, Nigeria to Christiana Agbo. Earlier children in Kibeho, Rwanda were shown visions by Our Lady and many others have also received great Gifts. Cuapa in Nicaragua has been blessed in the same way. The list is seemingly endless.
We truly have lived in a Century of Miracles and very soon now all people will witness The Return in Glory of The King of Peace
"Yes, I am coming soon, and bringing My recompense with Me, to requite everyone according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Happy are those who wash their robes clean. They will have the right to the Tree of Life and will enter by the Gates of the City. Outside are dogs, sorcerers and fornicators, murderers and idolaters and all who love and practice deceit"
Thank you, Danielle, for this wonderful account of apparitions and messages. It is a wonderful record to which we can refer again and again. Of course, Our Lady's messages all link in with the Divine Mercy message. She is simply calling us back to the Lord.

I come from a protestant church which is Spirit filled and we see Miracles on a regular basis, Healings answer to prayer and many people being transformed by God. I bellieve in the Catholic Charasmatic movement these things should also be happening.
I would be worried if they where not happening whatever denomination I was in.
