The next Eucharistic miracle is from Germany (Anne Catherine Emmerich, 1774-1824).
Anne “was forced to abandon the monastery in which she lived because it was being appropriated by the government. In that period, her health declined and the mystical experiences increased: she received the stigmata and had numerous visions. One of these allowed the finding of the house of Our Lady in Ephesus. In fact, according to antique traditions, it seems that Mary settled, together with John the Apostle, in this city.
The miraculous aspect of the life of Anne Catherine is that for years she fed only on the Eucharist.” See http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/english_pdf/Emmerich.pdf.

Fatima – The Sixth Apparition – October 13, 1917 - Part 4.
The miracle continues to unfold. In our last blog entry, Jesus, Mary & Joseph appear in the sky. Now, “as the children stared enraptured by these most beautiful heavenly visons, the countless thousands of people were amazed and over powered by other miracles in the skies. The sun had taken on an extraordinary color. The word of eyewitnesses best describe these stupendous signs.
‘We could look at the sun with ease,’ [a relative] testified; ‘it did not bother at all. It seemed to be continually fading and glowing in one fashion, then another. It threw shafts of light one way and another, painting everything in different colors, the people, the trees, the earth, even the air. But the greatest proof of the miracle was the fact that the sun did not bother the eyes.’
Another bystander said, ‘At a certain point, the sun stopped its play of light and then started dancing. It stopped once more and again started dancing until it seemed to loosen itself from the skies and fall upon the people. I was a moment of terrible suspense.’
A woman marveled: ‘The sun cast different colors, yellow, blue and white. It trembled constantly. It looked like a revolving ball of fire falling upon the people.’ As the sun hurled itself towards the earth in a mighty zigzag motion, the multitude cried out in terror, ‘Ai Jesus, we are all going to die here; Ai Jesus, we are all going to die here.’ Some begged for mercy, ‘Our Lady save us;’ many others made acts of contrition. One lady was even confessing her sins aloud.
At last the sun swerved back to its orbit and rested in the sky. ‘Everyone gave a sigh of relief; we were still alive, and the miracle promised by the children had come to pass.’”
To be continued.
