***I am reproducing the witness of those who have seen the white host being
transformed into "flesh and blood", thus confirming the words of Jesus of
his real presence in the Eucharist through transubstantiation. I hope that
the readers will see that there are "Eucharistic miracles" in our times.
Albert writes: >>>...Many times Miracles are man made. If God wanted to show
these miracles He would show it to everyone and not only to few.
***Miracles are a part and parcel of the Christian Revelation. Miracles can
be worked only by God. Man-made miracles are not miracles. The Church
defined the possibility of miracles. Miracles are signs of God's power. God
works according to his Will and Plan. Signs from heaven should not be
demanded, as Jesus himself warned us. They should be humbly recognized.
There has been instances of bogus miracles too which I do not like to
discus on this net not out of fear but out of disgust.
***I am speaking of Lourdes miracles and Eucharistic miracles, recognized by
the Church. I am not referring to "bogus" miracles which are not miracles at
all...
The person who has seen God is Jesus Christ. He has clearly mentioned
every inch of his knowledge into the Bible and there lies the
authenticity of God. Many times the clergy take undue respect of calling
human beings as scholars of the church or scholars of the scriptures.
There are no scholars of the scriptures unless God reveals the matter to
them.
***God spoke through the prophets and through Jesus his Son to humanity.
Scriptures mediate this "God-talk" to us. Theologians and scriptural
scholars have their important role in the Church. God speaks to us today
also through the theologians and the Church. Instead of writing against the
teaching of the Church, I hope you will learn from the theologians and the
priests.
Hope I am clear.
***Yes, I hope that I am also clear.
Regards.
