What are the miracles in the Holy Eucharist?

Answer 1

A:

It is only possible to give an answer in the abstract, as a list of all reported miracles would be endless. The great British philosopher, David Hume describes a miracle as a violation of the laws of nature. In determining whether any event was indeed a miracle, Hume cautions us to compare the instances of the violation of truth in the testimony of men, with those of the violation of the laws of nature by miracles, in order to judge which of them is most likely and probable. As a philosopher, Hume believed that miracles are possible but that there are no grounds for believing miracles have actually occurred.

Answer 2

Catholic AnswerThe Eucharist is a miracle, it is the miracle in which Our Blessed Lord, through the action of His priest transforms ordinary bread, and ordinary wine into His Body and His Blood, so that, after the consecration there is no bread nor wine left, only the appearances, and underneath those appearances is the entire Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. A miracle that He instituted in order to be with us in the most intimate manner-as food and drink- until the end of time.

Pocket Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J., Doubleday c 1980, 1985

Eucharist. The true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who is really and substantially present under the appearances of bread and wine, in order to offer himself in the sacrifice of the Mass and to be received as spiritual food in Holy Communion. It is called Eucharist, or "Thanksgiving", because at its institution at the Last Supper Christ "gave thanks," and by this fact it is the supreme object and act of Christian gratitude to God.

Although the same name is used, the Eucharist is any one or all three aspects of one mystery, namely the Real Presence, the Sacrifice, and Communion. As Real Presence, the Eucharist is Christ in His abiding action of High Priest, continuing now to communicate the graces He merited on Calvary; and as Communion, it is Christ coming to enlighten and strengthen the believer by nourishing his soul for eternal life.

The Sacrament of the Eucharist

1323 "At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, The church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet 'in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is give to us.'" (Sacrasanctum concilium 47)

Answer 3

There are many miracles recorded in The Bible. But the biggest one is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which caused Jesus' followers to spread the gospel amid heavy persecution.
