Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew
Matthew 14:1-12.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the reputation of Jesus and said to his servants, "This man is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why mighty powers are at work in him." Now Herod had arrested John, bound (him), and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, for John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." Although he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, for they regarded him as a prophet. But at a birthday celebration for Herod, the daughter of Herodias performed a dance before the guests and delighted Herod so much that he swore to give her whatever she might ask for. Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist." The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests who were present, he ordered that it be given, and he had John beheaded in the prison. His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who took it to her mother. His disciples came and took away the corpse and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.

Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke
Luke 12:13-21.
Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me." He replied to him, "Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?" Then he said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions." Then he told them a parable. "There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, 'What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?' And he said, 'This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, "Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!" But God said to him, 'You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?' Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God."
Word of Lord.

The architecture of the Sanctuary of the Eucharistic Miracle
|
|

Dear visitors, God give you peace!
Welcome to the website of the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano (CH) - Italy
|
Looking at the site you can contemplate what God has done for you. Your faith will set deeply in His sacramental presence and the Eucharistic Mystery will open to a greater comprehension and welcome the infinite love of God in His Son Jesus Christ.
You can see what you have been said at the catechism when you were a little boy and trust deeply in the Eucharist.
You can also tell it, because the "true flesh" and "true blood" are not only rests of historical events, but a permanent and visible miracle.
Certainly your doubtful and troubled mind - like any other human mind - wants to understand, to investigate how it can be possible that God in the appearances of bread and wine can reveal himself, bread of life and sacrifice for you.
Dear Visitor, be silent, concentrate,
|
and wait because in the presence of the Event you are going to admire, you could receive and keep this memory of God for you. The Miracle is a support to believe that God's Son, Jesus, is alive, Resurrected in the Church and wants to leave in you and in every man an indelible seal of credibility that will never disappear in the life of everyone.
This virtual visit, waiting for a real pilgrimage to the Eucharistic Sanctuary of Lanciano, can enrich you of many spiritual fruits, and grow a greater love towards the Eucharist.
I wish you this "visit" will impress in your heart, its remembrance will be light, support in the moment of the proof and that you really trust in His promise: "...I will be with you every day till the end of the world" (Mt 28, 20).
May the Lord Jesus, alive among us, bless you .
