Catholics believe that at the last
supper when Jesus said, "This is My Body,"
the bread actually became His Body.
Over the centuries, Christ has given us a
series of Eucharistic miracles,
where the bread is transformed into His Flesh.
The tissues from these Eucharistic
Miracles have been studied by medical
doctors from around the world
and in this video you will hear from
them firsthand and see their medical
reports.
What we see is that each miracle
contains a startling pattern that
science has discovered.
The patterns are:
One - there is heart tissue.
Two - the heart is living.
Three - the heart is suffering.
Four - the blood is type AB and
Five - DNA tests were all inconclusive.
In this video I'll focus on the three best
documented Eucharistic miracles.
Tixtla, Buenos Aires, and Lanciano.
We will start with Tixtla, Mexico.
On October 21st 2006, Fr. Raymundo Esteban
and sisters were distributing communion during Mass.
One sister brought over a
ciborium to show father that a red
liquid had begun to come from the host.
I spoke with Dr. Eduardo Sanchez Lazo who personally analyzed the miraculous tissue.
Using electron microscopy he discovered
the most amazing aspect I've ever heard
for a Eucharistic miracle,
that the blood came from inside the host
and the blood then covered the host in a
similar way as when you get a paper cut.
The blood flows from that point.
He officially stated this," the possibility of bleeding coming from the outside to the inside is ruled out."
Dr Lazo's analyses are routinely
presented in court as he specializes in legal medicine.
This eliminates the possibility of fraud due to the lack of technology.
Here he says...
which means,  "It is technology that should
be here in 50 to 100 years but we still
do not have it here."
He also mentioned that he put an unconsecrated host to the same tests and it disintegrated.
Is that amazing or what?
Now skeptics often raise this concern:
How can one prove
that the tissue analyzed was truly the
tissue from the Eucharistic miracle?
Here we see the doctor who had the host in his laboratory, found that the tissue is living three
years after the event,
formally claimed the statement above
after studying it for three months,
and DNA testing was inconclusive.
This appears supernatural to me.
Now let's look at the miracle in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
On August 18th 1996, Father Alejandro Pezet was informed that there was a
host sitting in a candlestick on the side of
the church.
It was dusty so rather than consuming the host it was put in a bowl of water to dissolve.
Two weeks later, this appeared.
A renowned forensic pathologist, Dr.
Frederick Zugibe, who was on the
History Channel, National Geographic, and taught at Columbia University, analyzed this tissue.
Here is what he said.
Heart tissue. You get it from a person
getting beat up across the chest.
One hypothesis was that this tissue was from a heart that was beaten across the chest.
That is important as Jesus was severely beaten during His passion
Dr Zugibe performed over 10,000 autopsies in his career so proposing the cause of death is
something he has experience with.
While this hypothesis is not definitive it shows that the heart was suffering.
What we see in every Eucharistic miracle
that's been medically analyzed
is that it is heart tissue.
I think it is Jesus showing the world
that we all have broken our heart and
hearts and by receiving Him, the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, He can heal us.
Dr. Zugibe wrote his conclusions here and stated that he was not informed of the history of the material.
The blood type was not tested due to the
small amount of tissues
but DNA  testing was performed by
forensic analytical and the results were inconclusive.
Going back to Tixtla, the blood that was found was type AB.
AB blood was also found on the Shroud of Turin.
It is interesting how the
eucharistic miracles have type AB blood
and this was found before the shroud was
analyzed.
Now AB blood is the rarest form, with
less than seven percent of people in the
world having this blood type.
While this is not a proof of
authenticity it leads me and I hope you
to believe that this is truly the Flesh
of Jesus Christ that we have the
opportunity to receive at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
I mentioned earlier that in Tixtla they found that it was living tissue. In fact, in one of the slides a white
blood cell was in the process of
swallowing fatty material, that's how
alive this tissue was.
In both Buenos Aires and Tixtla it had
been years since the miracle
but there were still living white blood
cells under the microscope.
White blood cells typically die within minutes but these were living, showing that the heart tissue was alive.
Jesus said, "I am the living bread that
came down from Heaven...
and the bread that I will give is My
Flesh for the life of the world."
Should we be surprised that his flesh is
living? Why else would He say I am the living bread?
Finally we review Lanciano or Lanciano, which is the most popular Eucharistic miracle.
In the 8th century a priest doubted
whether Our Lord was truly present in
the consecrated host.
When he said the words of consecration,
"This is My Body,"
during Mass he saw the host turn into flesh.
While this is amazing, what is even more
amazing is that the flesh is on display.
Over a millennia after the event the flesh is still present.
Last year I was able to visit with my wife twin boys and in-laws it was a priceless memory.
In the 1970s this was analyzed by Dr. Linoli and his article can actually be found on PubMed.
The article is in Italian but my
great friends in Rome translated it into English.
You can see at this link.
The full article has never before been
shown on YouTube in English.
His analysis revealed that this was human blood,  type AB, and the flesh was heart tissue.
He also stated that the blood has ratios of normal fresh blood.
How could blood that is over a thousand years old appear to be fresh? It's a miracle!
Now you may wonder has a reported Eucharistic miracle
ever been found to not be miraculous? Yes.
In November 2015 there was an alleged
miracle in Kerns, Utah.
A thorough investigation concluded that
the host had not bleed but the change of
appearance in the host was due to a red
bread mold known as neurospora crassa.
This was posted on the diocese
website and speaks to the rigor of study
these miracles undergo.
Unfortunately
there are several myths attributed to
the miracle at Lanciano.
First is that the United Nations
analyzed this and performed
500 tests to confirm Dr. Linoli's research.
Cardiologist Dr. Franco Serafini visited Lanciano and the friars there opened the vault
contained the UN report, "and we could see this document, this United Nations document.
We scheduled a whole afternoon for studying it but in fact a couple of minutes was enough."
It did have 500 tests but they were on Egyptian mummies
not the tissue at Lanciano. It had a
small portion related to Lanciano
but this claim has been overstated.
The
other myth is that at Lanciano there are
five clots of blood
that are all of uneven size but they
weigh the same amount whether weighed
together or separately. Supposedly
Dr. Linoli verified this in 1970.
He did record the total weight as you can see here but the claim that he weighed each one and found them to
be the same weight is false.
Now what if this were a forgery how would you replicate this?
Anatomic pathologist, Dr. Jason DeGregorio would know how.
"One would have to take tissue from a
patient who has
type AB blood. It would have to come from
human heart tissue in a patient who has
some sort of inflammatory pathologic
process
going on in the heart. Preserve that
tissue
in formalin or formaldehyde so that it
would not deteriorate
and then one would have to take that
tissue and place it
on top of a host.
That would be frankly be as miraculous as the miracle that we're examining here."
"Wow, that is amazing!"
In addition this
would require intense precision
and a collaborative international effort
as these findings were not made public
until the last decade.
With current technology, the knowledge of these five doctors, and those that assisted them,
science still cannot explain these miracles.
Some skeptics these miracles state that they will believe if a well-documented chain of custody is provided.
As mentioned earlier, Tixtla did document
the tissues in the doctor's laboratory;
however, Buenos Aires has a
well-documented chain of custody which
you can see in one of the links below.
But essentially to satisfy every skeptic
we would need
24-hour footage of the location of the
tissues
from the moment of the miracle to when
they're analyzed by the laboratories
for them to believe.
Unfortunately there are probably no such footages
that exist for any tissue ever analyzed.
For those with faith, no evidence is necessary;
for those without, it no evidence will suffice.
So what do these miracles tell us?
We read in the Proverbs,
"trust in the Lord with all your HEART
and lean not on your own UNDERSTANDING."
This verse comes alive in light of these miracles!
We can trust with all of our
heart by receiving the Body of Christ
while we may not fully understand how
bread
can become the Eucharistic Heart of
Jesus, we can have confidence in His
words because He is the Truth!
These miracles show us the reality that
mere bread becomes the Body of Christ.

do not contradict.
