Eucharistic miracle in Lanciano.

The 8th TLIG international pilgrimage took place in Rome, September 2011.
On September 5th, we departed for Lanciano to visit a very special site; the site of a Eucharistic miracle from the 14th century. It is a miracle which has been researched by scientists and even declared a Unesco heritage site. It is a powerful witness to anyone who doubts the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Both the flesh and blood have been conserved over the centuries. The flesh which is in a dehydrated form has been declared as living heart muscle and the five globules of blood have the property of recording the same weight irrespective of whether there is one globule or more of them together. The Eucharist is of coursecentral to the messages of True Life in Godsince Jesus calls us to celebrate around one table. Our Mass was celebrated in the main church of Lanciano by Cardinal Telesphore Toppo, and concelebrated by Archbishop Concessao and Bishop Felix Toppo. We were given a very warm welcome by the local Bishop who, impressed, said that they had received many pilgrimages over the years but this was by far the largest that they had ever witnessed. It was of course recorded in the local newspapers and TV Channels. After Mass the Mayor of Lanciano, Mario Pupillo, warmly welcomed Vassula and Cardinal Toppo, and then escorted His Eminence to San Giovanni in Venere for a tour.
