Episode 396: Eucharistic Miracles You've Probably Never Heard Of with Shaun McAfee

What are some of the strangest Eucharistic miracles in Church history? And why do these extraordinary events continue to fascinate believers and skeptics alike?

Author Shaun McAfee joins Fr. Edward Looney to discuss his new book, Compendium of Eucharistic Miracles, published by TAN Books, which explores more than 100 accounts of Eucharistic miracles from around the world.

From the famous Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy, to obscure and unusual accounts involving natural disasters, mysterious lights, and the Precious Blood, Shaun shares fascinating stories from his research. Fr. Edward also recalls his pilgrimage to Lanciano and a curious Eucharistic miracle in the Netherlands that he learned about through the movie Midwinter Break.

Along the way, they discuss:

• Why Eucharistic miracles capture our imagination.

• Some of the strangest and least-known Eucharistic miracles.

• Different categories of miracles, including those involving doubt, natural disasters, and extraordinary light.

• What Shaun would say to a priest who doubts the Real Presence.

• A recent account involving a priest in Minneapolis.

• Shaun's favorite Eucharistic miracle to share with others.

Most importantly, how can these extraordinary stories lead us to a deeper love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament?

Whether you're already devoted to the Eucharist or simply curious about these remarkable accounts, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
