Your flesh dwells within me
Your breath my life now be
My heart is with one accord
Whence receiveth Thy Holy Word
Overabundant be Thy Grace
In the Holy Eucharist I now face
All contained within suffice
To sustain me for this life
And upon death’s calling
The greatest joy befalling
Bring me to the Holy Land
Forever with Father, Spirit, and Son of Man

For many people, Eucharistic miracles are fascinating stories. For others, they are little more than legends passed down through centuries of Catholic tradition. Skeptics often wonder whether there is any credible reason to take these accounts seriously, while...
