#Miracles function as God’s own verification system: events that exceed natural explanation and require no specialized knowledge to understand. #Eucharistic miracles, especially those scientifically examined and repeatedly revealing AB blood and living heart tissue, serve as external, divine endorsements of the Catholic Church’s sacramental claims. They demonstrate that God accompanies #Catholic #worship with signs exactly where the Church claims #Christ is truly present. Demanding “proof of the proof” misunderstands miracles: they aren’t puzzles to solve but signs meant to be witnessed, inviting humility rather than hubris.
