I’ve been noticing more and more Catholics lately stepping up to argue & defend Eucharistic miracles, and honestly it’s amazing to see. It’s something I really need to dive deeper into and study the arguments, because these miracles are not only edifying, but they also dismantle Protestantism, Atheism, Islam, and more. At the same time, I’m seeing many non-Catholics completely unwilling to even engage with the arguments or debate them at all.

St. Therese of Lisieux taught the doctrine of Sola Scriptura:
"So, I searched the Scriptures for some hint of my desired elevator, until I came upon these words from the lips of Eternal Wisdom: “Whosoever is a little one, let him come to Me.” (Prov. 9:4)." (The Story Of A Soul, pg. 137)
"So, I searched the Scriptures for some hint of my desired elevator, until I came upon these words from the lips of Eternal Wisdom: “Whosoever is a little one, let him come to Me.” (Prov. 9:4)." (The Story Of A Soul, pg. 137)
“But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.” (John 19:34)
On this Good Friday, when we read how blood and water flowed from the pierced side in St. John’s Gospel we’re not just seeing a detail of the Passion, we’re witnessing the birth of the Church and the sacraments flowing directly from Christ Himself. What’s powerful is that this same mystery doesn’t stay in the past. In so many Eucharistic miracles studied even in our time (like those highlighted by St. Carlo Acutis) the consecrated Host has been found to contain real human heart tissue and blood, often AB type, echoing that moment on Calvary. It’s as if God is reminding us that the sacrifice of the Cross is not merely symbolic or distant, but living and present in the Eucharist. The same Jesus whose side was pierced is the same Jesus we receive Body, Blood, Soul, & Divinity…still pouring Himself out for us.

Why is it that almost nobody today talks about the azymes, which was the major issue in the Great Schism? The Eastern Orthodox Church still anathematizes the use of unleavened bread for communion every year. If we can historically demonstrate that unleavened bread is valid, along with the scientific evidence from Eucharistic miracles, it would expose that Eastern Orthodoxy lacks the fullness of truth and stands on the wrong side of history.
