THE EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE AT LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE
12 13 , 01:02 Filed in: Eucharistic Miracles
During Easter in 1461, Bertrand, the 12-year-old son of Mrs. Jehan Leclerc, was in attendance at Holy Mass at the church of St. Bartholomew, where in 1257 two drops of blood collected at Calvary had been brought and preserved. Bertrand indicated that he wished to receive Holy Communion but, since he was paralyzed and mute since the age of 7, the priest objected because the boy was unable to go to Confession. Bertrand pleaded with the priest and ultimately the priest was convinced to give him Communion. At the reception of Holy Communion, the boy was shaken by an unexplainable force and able to move and speak. He was cured. Bertrand's first words were "Our help is in the name of the Lord!" based on a manuscript collected after the miracle occurred.

THE EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE OF ALCALA, SPAIN

In 1597, the confession of a penitent thief at the Jesuit church in Alcala, revealed that he, with other marauders, had sacked churches, stealing monstrances and other sacred objects in various towns, thereby committing many sacrileges. In tears, the penitent turned over consecrated Hosts. The priest, in conference with his superior, decided to place the Hosts in a silver casket to allow them to decompose naturally and eliminate the possibility of the Hosts having been poisoned, which had occurred in other towns.
Eleven years later, the 24 Hosts were found to be still intact. They were placed in an underground cellar along with some unconsecrated Hosts. Six years later, the unconsecrated Hosts had decomposed but the consecrated Hosts remained intact.
Academic and medical tests were held, at which time this was declared a true miracle.
