Eucharistic Miracle - Weiten-Raxendorf, Austria, 1411 A.D.

Greetings Pilgrims,

This next Eucharistic miracle comes again from Austria, this time in Weiten in the year 1411. In this story a thief's horse refuses to move, drops a stolen consecrated Host, and then runs off.  The dropped host later begins to glow brilliantly, divided into two Pieces, but...united by threads of Bleeding Flesh." A pious woman finds it and, by her own expense, builds a chapel where the Host was found.

We are just passing through, on our way to our final and eternal destination. "We are trav'lers on a journey, fellow pilgrims on the road; we are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load. I will hold the Christ-light for you in the night-time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear."  Lyrics from The Servant Song, Richard Gillard, 1977.

Today in the western Catholic Church we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, the eighth day of Easter.  Through the outpouring of His Heart over all of creation, Jesus renews and restores.  By the very depths of His mercy, He forgives and sets us free.  A most special grace can be had on this day, not only of a plenary indulgence, but also a complete forgiveness of sin and all punishment, with fewer stipulations.

God bless you.
