Eucharistic Miracle of Herentals (Poederle), Belgium 1412

Greetings, Dear Sisters and Brothers

The next Eucharistic miracle comes again from Belgium: A certain man was "stealing sacred objects from churches and selling them all over Europe." When he got to Poederle, some of what he stole included consecrated hosts.  Pulled by an unseen force, he was unable to move beyond a certain point in his path. Upon leaving the consecrated hosts near a rabbit's den, he was able to move on. The man later confessed to having done this and showed the community where he had left the hosts. Despite wet weather, the hosts remained intact and formed the shape of a cross.  Please see Miracoli Eucaristici herentals.

Striving to live in the Divine Will. Prayer revealed to Luisa Piccaretta: " Jesus, I Trust in You. Thy Will be done. I give you my will, please give me Yours in return. Let your Kingdom Come! Let your Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven!"  

Pray the Rosary.  There are many forms of holy and fruitful prayer that people offer to God. If a person is inspired to pray them with the heart, God will bless that effort. Despite all of the various forms of prayer, however, Mary still calls us to pray the Rosary.  She requests this same prayer, the Rosary, repeatedly over the ages.  Might this Rosary that She speaks of, therefore, be worthy of our attention?  Are we "too holy" to pray the Rosary? Is the prayer we tend to pray a "higher form" of prayer than the Rosary?  Consider that it is the Queen Mother Herself that asks us for the Rosary.  Mary is familiar with all of these other forms of prayer, yet She asks for the Rosary. Who are we to judge what prayer is "below our dignity and time" to offer to Jesus?  Let us strive to humbly allow Mary to teach and direct us.
