An incident at a Roman Catholic Church in Connecticut is being investigated as a possible miracle after Eucharistic hosts appeared to multiply during a service last month.
Mass was concluding at Thomaston's St. Thomas Church when Rev. Joseph Crowley announced to the faithful that the Eucharistic minister believed the hosts, Communion wafers, had multiplied during their distribution, according to a report."What happened is our Lord multiplied himself," Crowley said.
Catholics believe the host becomes the body of Jesus Christ in Holy Communion. Crowley became emotional when describing the potential miracle. "One of our Eucharistic ministers was running out of hosts, and suddenly, there were more hosts in the ciborium," he said, referencing the serving vessel."God just duplicated himself in the ciborium."
"It's really, really cool when God does these things, and it's really, really cool when we realize what he’s done, and it just happened today," he added."Very powerful, very awesome, very real, very shocking. But also, it happens, and today it happened.""So, today, not only did we have the miracle of the Eucharist, we also had a bigger miracle," he said."It's pretty cool.
