Do You Believe in Eucharistic Miracles?

The story of a Eucharistic Miracle that happened in Kumasi a city in Ghana in the 1990s. A Protestant man took the picture of the Monstrance during the Corpus Christi procession and after the image was processed, an image of Jesus Christ was the result.

What do you think about this?

Thank you! Miracles are signs from God

Sweet Christ, truly present in Your Blessed Sacrament: have mercy on us.

We could never merit such a tremendous treasure: this, the free gift of Your body and blood.

I think you’re going to regret not posting this as a Catholic Caucus thread.

Do I believe in eucharistic miracles???

Absolutely!!!!!!!

Praise God for this!

I would be careful about this one... If I understand Eucharistic Miracles correctly they are researched by the church and involve the transformation of the host such as at the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano discussed here.

1) I don’t believe the article nor the never ceasing stream of supposed miracles pouring out of the catholic faith.

2) I do believe Jesus is the Christ however, and that miracles can indeed happen.

Can you clarify? Do you believe there are no miracles happening? Or do you believe they are happening but are not from God?

“... In the 1990s ...”
“... A Protestant man ...”

You are so eager to see your heresies affirmed that you’ll believe any story, even ones that are obvious hoaxes. What kind of faith is it when it’s built on such fabrications. This is one reason it is good to base our faith in Jesus on what is written in Scripture, not in urban legends.

Jesus has revealed Himself already. And not through a piece of bread in Africa in the 1990s. Faith in Jesus is sufficient; this bread thing is a distraction.

[Theo]

He’s saying that God still performs miracles, but this is not one.

[MEGoody]

. . .an image of Jesus Christ was the result.

How do they know it is an image of Jesus? Where in scripture does it give a detailed enough description of His appearance that one could know an image is His image?

The reality is, they don't know what He looks like. They want to see an image of Jesus, and so anything they can imagine looking like an image of a guy with long hair and a beard is said to be an image of Christ.

I am a former Catholic, now I am simply just a believer in God, I do go to church and am evangelical. I believe that there is a lot of seeking after miracles in the Catholic church and if you look hard enough for anything, you'll find them whether they are there or not.

As to if Miracles are happening now. I honestly do not know, however, whether they are or are not it does not matter to me. The kind of miracle I would like to see is the raising of the 11 year old girl who was just murdered in New Hampshire, the one they found in the river, she deserves better. I know in the end God will right all wrongs.

... and I have to wonder how this “skeptic” supposedly got close enough and still enough to capture this photo.

My Roman Catholic friends: Jesus can be found. But not in a wafer.

Thank you for defining the limits of the Lord’s power

[dartuser]

I would be interested if you have any ideas into why? You likely have a unique perspective being a former.

Hi Gadel -welcome to freepers! I enjoy your blogs. May God Bless you on your endeavors ! I like your new profile on free republic. Praise Jesus and Hail Mary !!!

[Theo]

He defines them, not me.

[Theo]

So, do you believe this urban legend? Have you fallen for this hoax?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Honestly I have no belief in this specific instance. Would need to know much more before I could venture an opinion. But I would never be of the opinion that Jesus wouldn't ever do something like this.

[Theo]

Sure, I suppose God could imprint the famous painting of Jesus onto a piece of toast. Kinda strange, though. Not sure why photocopying an old painting onto food would be in any way meaningful to one’s faith in Jesus.

Is there any biblical precedence for God putting graven images into food?
