For the next several weeks, St. Clement of Rome will be featuring Eucharistic miracles in honor of the National Eucharistic Revival. We invite you to stop in at church and look at the poster board in the vestibule.
These miracles are truly a gift from Our Lord to help us realize that Jesus meant what He said when He proclaimed, “My Flesh is food for the world." The Eucharist will sustain our souls throughout our lifetime.
March 18-24: Miracle of the True Cross of Caravaca
A Muslim king, wanting to understand Catholicism more, asked a priest to celebrate Mass. A cross, which must be present at Mass was forgotten. The Muslim king witnessed two angels, placing a cross on the altar during the Mass. In time, the king and his family converted to Catholicism. Since that day in 1231, the cross can be seen at the Santa Cruz church in Caravaca de la Cruz. This miracle is honored every seven years by celebrating the Perpetual Jubilee at the shrine where the Holy Cross is kept.
