Pope Leo’s Personal Eucharistic Miracle

From Totus Catholica

In July 2018, a Catholic bishop was locked out of his own chapel, the shrine of the only Eucharistic miracle in Peru's history. Seven years later, that same locked-out bishop was elected Pope Leo XIV, and the file requesting that Rome recognise this miracle now sits unsigned on his desk. This is the story of Eten, where in 1649 a consecrated host appeared as a child with a human face. The details are not random. They speak a language God began in the Old Testament, when Israel kept the bread of the presence, the bread of the face, perpetually before the Lord, and named the manna with a question, what is it? Jesus fulfilled that longing in John 6 when he called himself the living bread, and the earliest Church Fathers guarded it as literal truth. Before you weigh the evidence for yourself, the invitation is simple: spend ten quiet minutes before the tabernacle, because the child in the host was never waiting for a signature.
