Miracles, Everywhere!

It amazes me when I hear people complain that God has abandoned us, how there are no miracles. Are they serious?

If they went into any Catholic Church to celebrate the Mass they would actually witness and participate in a miracle. During Mass the priest, by virtue of the sacramental power of ordination Jesus gave to Peter 2000 years ago, consecrates the bread and wine and in so doing opens up the space between Heaven and earth as the species become the actual body and blood of our Lord!

And this isn't a one-time-only event! This miracle happens at every Mass, in every Catholic Church around the world, every day of the week, not just on Sundays! That being said, there are literally too many miracles to count.

Also, outside of Mass, people can always visit with the real presence of the Lord, either in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament during exposition, or by locating the Tabernacle which always houses a consecrated Host - the Living God.

The Tabernacle (from the Hebrew's Holy of Holies) is found in every Catholic Church around the world, and can usually be located near the lit red candle called the Sanctuary Lamp.

The Catholic Faith overflows with miracles, and the Universal Church is eager to share our miracle-giving God with everyone!
