Msgr. Ramiro Valdes Sanchez, vicar general of Guadalajara, Mexico,
has announced that the archdiocese is investigating a possible
Eucharistic miracle that reportedly took place last week.
Msgr. Valdes Sanchez said he has received instructions from the
archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Jose Francisco Robles Ortega, to
direct the investigation.
The pastor of Mary Mother of the Church, Father Jose Dolores
Castellanos Gudino, said that on July 24, while he was kneeling in
prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, he saw a flash of light and heard a
voice.
“Ring the bells so that everyone comes,” the voice allegedly
instructed. “I will pour blessings upon those present and the entire
day. Take your small tabernacle for private adoration to the parish
altar and put the large monstrance next to the small tabernacle. Don’t
open the tabernacle until three in the afternoon, not before.”
“I will perform a miracle in the Eucharist,” the voice continued,
“the miracle that will take place will be called, ‘Miracle of the
Eucharist in the incarnation of love together with our Mother and Lady.’
Copy the image that I will give you now and show it to others.”
The voice then reportedly told him to share this with all of his
priests to aid in their conversion and that he would fill all souls with
blessings.
Fr. Gudino said that after hearing the voice he could only say, “My Lord, I am your servant, let your will be done.”
With local people gathered at 3 p.m., he recounted that he
“approached the tabernacle and upon opening it the host consecrated by
Our Lord Jesus Christ was covered in blood.”
According to the priest, the voice also told him to establish an
adoration chapel and to allow any scientific study necessary to confirm
the miracle.
Msgr. Sanchez said samples from the host will be studied in Guadalajara.
“First of all the testimony needs to be gathered from three people
who were present, obviously in this case from the pastor,” he explained.
He also said that a team of experts will be assembled to investigate
whether there is a scientific explanation for the phenomenon.
“While this is occurring, the Church in Guadalajara, through the
Cardinal Archbishop, has said that the Host should not be exposed to the
public and that it be kept in a safe place, in a tabernacle,” he added.
“The Catholic Church’s legal doctrine states that when an
extraordinary, uncommon event occurs, the necessary precautions should
be taken to determine if the event can be explained by natural causes or
if a more serious investigation is necessary to determine if it goes
beyond the natural and whether or not it should be considered a
miraculous event,” he explained.
It's good to have faith confirmed by the odd miracle. It will be interesting to read the outcome of the investigation.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great sadness that it should take a possible miracle to persuade people of 2 things.
ReplyDeleteFirst that the Sacred Host is truly the body, blood, soul & divinity of Jesus i.e the Real Presence
Second that we do not adore the Blessed Sacrament as that Real Presence.
Perhaps a third point might be made & that is that God WANTS us to adore the Blessed Sacrament as the Real Presence.
Do we know what blessings were granted to those present?
I think this is the third Blessed Sacrament substantive occurrence presently being investigated - very timely in this time of our need.
