I read that the miracle is even more amazing since the species of bread is presented as species of tissue and blood. Is the bread still "behind" the tissue or did the specie change completely?<br /><br />3. The Real presence is maintained as long as the species retain it's properties (e.g. freshness). How would we know this under the species of tissue? Isn't the worship related to the miracle of change of species rather than Real presence?<br /><br />Thanks<br />F.

THIS is so beneficial, so needed, in these times. What with all the sloppy, "be nice" homilies, you demonstrate how beneficial, and how manly it is to be precise in terminology about the Truths of our Faith, in order to be able to better understand, and then to better pray and act in our daily lives as good Catholics. <br /><br />Our Lord loved that priest, and us, enough to condescend in love for our unbelief, to work this great miracle for our understanding and adoration of Him. Happy Corpus Christi, Father!Michelangelonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-10920485964493506122012-06-08T14:51:59.050-07:002012-06-08T14:51:59.050-07:00Is the phenomenon of the globules unexplainable?Is the phenomenon of the globules unexplainable?Marco da Vinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092410765851812842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-55214674415718683862012-06-08T12:15:44.274-07:002012-06-08T12:15:44.274-07:00Thank you, Father.
