Eucharistic Miracles of Buenos Aires, Argentina (Part 3 of 3) I asked a theologian what this could possibly mean in the context of Jesus. He said that Church teaches that the Eucharist is a memorial of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. When we receive Communion, we are receiving Jesus at the moment of his Resurrection, 3 days after His Passion. What astonished Dr Zugibe was that the white blood cells and the heart tissue were in such a good state of preservation despite having been kept in distilled water for 3 years: “The good state of preservation is what might have been expected if they had been placed in a preservative like formalin. It would be impossible for the white blood cells to be present in the sample if the sample had been kept in water.” Mike Willesee summed up the case this way: “When a Communion host, which is bread, bleeds and becomes living human heart, it is more than just a WOW moment. It is a traumatic day for Science.” Why traumatic? Because for the first time ever life has come into existence from inert non-living matter. What has been revealed in my ongoing work is unprecedented. It provides, for the first time ever, a scientific basis for the Catholic Church’s belief in: 1) God as the sole recorded creator of human life. 2) Jesus is truly alive, resurrected and present in the Communion host. 3) Jesus giving us his heart in the Eucharist.

For many of us, religious freedom is something we can easily take for granted. Yet for countless Christians and members of other religious minorities, faith can come at a great cost. People face discrimination, harassment, imprisonment, violence, forced displacement and even death simply because of what they believe. According to Aid to the Church in Need’s Religious Freedom in the World 2025 report, more than 5.4 billion people – almost two-thirds of humanity – live in countries where serious violations of religious freedom occur. Christians and members of other religious communities continue to experience persecution, oppression and discrimination across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and beyond. This is why ACN has launched its first-ever global religious freedom petition, calling on national governments and the United Nations to take urgent action to protect this fundamental right. At the heart of this campaign is Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees freedom of thought, conscience and religion — including the right to change one’s belief and to practise it openly or privately. As Christians, we are called to stand alongside our suffering brothers and sisters and to be a voice for those whose voices have been silenced. By signing the petition, you can help send a clear message that religious freedom must be protected everywhere, for everyone.

Show favour, O Lord, to your servants and mercifully increase the gifts of your grace, that, made fervent in hope, faith and charity, they may be ever watchful in keeping your commands. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,  God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Eucharistic Miracles of Buenos Aires, Argentina (Part 2 of 3) It was inflamed human heart tissue due to a compromised blood supply. I realised that when the heart suffers trauma, it looks very different from standard textbook images of normal heart tissue. The scientists that I had engaged thus far were not experts in heart trauma. The next step was to find a world expert who was not only a forensic pathologist, but also a cardiologist. I found him in New York: Dr Frederick Zugibe. On 20 April 2004, a leading Australian investigative journalist, Mike Willesee, accompanied me to New York to present Dr Zugibe with my case samples. Dr Zugibe had been told nothing of the history of the sample or my research. In our presence, as I filmed, he microscopically examined the samples. The only true statements made by Dr Zugibe are contained in what I recorded and documented at that original meeting. They have since become historic: “ I am an expert on the heart. The heart is my business. This is flesh. This flesh is heart muscle tissue, myocardium, from the left ventricle wall not far from a valvular area. It is the muscle that gives the heart its beat and the body its life. This heart muscle is inflamed. It has lost its striations and is infiltrated with white blood cells. White blood cells are not normally found in heart tissue. These cells are produced by the body and they escape from blood and infiltrate the tissue to address trauma or injury. The presence of those white blood cells in the tissue tell me two things: Firstly. This heart has suffered traumatic injury. There has been a compromising of the blood supply to the heart. This is not unlike what I have seen when someone has been beaten severely over the chest in the region of the heart. Secondly. This heart was alive. This heart is from a living person not a dead person. I am looking at a snapshot of a living heart. I can date the injury. I can date when the compromising of the blood supply occurred. It happened 3 days before the snapshot in time captured in the microscopic slide .” (Reference: www.miracolieucaristici.org)
