THE EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE AT LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE
02 14 , 00:36 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.
