This wondrous transformation, preserved to this day, serves as a powerful reminder for kids that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. It invites them to approach the sacrament with reverence and awe, strengthening their faith in the miraculous power of God.
2. The Miracle of Buenos Aires
The Miracle of Buenos Aires occurred in 1996 and involved a consecrated host that had fallen to the floor during Mass. The host was later discovered and placed in a container with holy water before being stored in the tabernacle. Over time, the host transformed into a reddish substance resembling flesh.
Scientific studies conducted on the transformed host revealed that it was real human cardiac tissue. This miraculous occurrence reinforces the belief in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and serves as a testament to the unfathomable power of faith.
3. The Miracle of Siena
The Miracle of Siena took place in the 18th century when thieves broke into the Church of St. Francis and stole a ciborium containing consecrated hosts. The thieves discarded the hosts in a nearby field. Miraculously, the hosts were found a few days later, completely intact and preserved without any visible signs of decay.
This unbelievable preservation serves as a profound reminder to Catholic children that the Eucharist is not merely bread and wine but the true body and blood of Christ. It teaches them that Jesus protects His presence even in unlikely circumstances.
4. The Miracle of Orvieto
The Miracle of Orvieto occurred in the 13th century and involved a skeptical priest who doubted the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. As he celebrated Mass, the bread and wine transformed into flesh and blood, drenching the corporal, a cloth used to catch any fragments of the host.
The miraculous corporal, stained with the blood of Christ, is preserved in the Cathedral of Orvieto as a powerful testimony of God's presence. This miraculous event teaches children the importance of faith and trusting in the mysteries of the Eucharist.
5. The Miracle of Bolsena
The Miracle of Bolsena occurred in the 13th century and involved a German priest who doubted the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. As he said the words of consecration during Mass, blood started to seep from the consecrated host, staining the corporal.
This miraculous event led to the institution of the Feast of Corpus Christi by Pope Urban IV. It emphasizes the importance of the Eucharist in the life of every Catholic and inspires children to value and cherish the sacrament.

Your children likely know all about the Eucharist, that central ritual beloved by Catholics worldwide. But do they know that God’s presence in the Eucharist is miraculous?
Heavenly Hostss presents documented Eucharistic miracles in story form to bring middle-grade readers to a better understanding of the Real Presence. One story details a fourth-century priest in the Sahara Desert who loses his faith until the Christ Child appears in the Host; this miraculous sighting causes the priest to return to God. In another tale, Antonio, a ninth-century altar boy, stands firm in a test of faith and is rewarded for his fidelity. And in one memorable story in Italy, a thirteenth-century debate over the true nature of the Eucharist is settled when a donkey falls to its knees before a monstrance containing the consecrated Host.
These stories and more—including a tale involving the future pope Francis—demonstrate God’s involvement in the lives of Catholics throughout the centuries, including today. Through these miraculous accounts set in various historical times and places, your children will discover a new appreciation for the Eucharist and its illustration of God’s love for those who follow Him.
Heavenly Hosts is an essential book for all Catholic families. Saint Pope John Paul II called for us to "rekindle Eucharistic amazement" in the New Evangelization. Heavenly Hosts encourages us to understand, appreciate, and love the Eucharist.
