Reported Eucharistic Miracle Chumoukedima, Nagaland, India (found via @Elista)
Edited transcript taken from the above video:
This reported Eucharistic Miracle was witnessed on Palm Sunday, 24th March, 2024, in the parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the village of Chekiye, Chumukedima in the Indian state of Nagaland. The priest in charge of this parish is Fr. Johnson Vadakkapurathan and the Bishop of this diocese is Dr. James Thopill, the Bishop of Kohima.
Fr. Johnson was the first to witness the miracle. Around two months before the miracle was seen, a Catholic along with her Baptist friend visited the Church of Mount Carmel for Sunday Mass. While Holy Communion was being distributed, the Baptist woman received the Holy Eucharist in her hand but did not consume it. Only baptised practising Catholics are permitted to receive Holy Communion. Unlike Catholics, The Baptist denomination does not have the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist as the Catholic Church does. Baptist doctrine does not profess that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist in Catholic churches. After Holy Mass, the Baptist woman carried Holy Communion to her home. However, she began to feel guilty of desecration and had a restless night. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, she went to her Catholic friend’s home and explained the entire situation. Her Catholic friend tried contacting the parish priest online, but couldn’t reach him; so she called the Carmelite Sister in charge and the Sacred Host was returned to the church. The Baptist lady was sorrowful and apologized. At the Church of Mount Carmel, Fr. Johnson took the consecrated Host, broke it into pieces, kept it inside a cruet filled with holy water and placed it inside the tabernacle to dissolve. This is the general custom of the Church. The priest can either consume the Host or reverentially dissolve it in water and pour the water into the earth or sacrarium. About two days later, Fr Johnson checked the Host. To his amazement and shock, the Host remained the same. He then placed it back into the tabernacle. About three days later the Host still retained it’s original shape. He did this for about a month or two. Due to his busy schedule, he forgot about the Host. On Palm Sunday, he received an urgent sick call and remembered the Sacred Host that wouldn’t dissolve. He went to check on the Host which to his surprise had turned into a reddish black blob. He tried to break the layer with his finger. Since it was a hard substance, he pressed with force. When he applied force, the layer broke, and water and fresh blood started oozing out. He informed other priests about the incident and the Host was kept for public viewing. The Bishop sent the species for a scientific investigation and examination.
What if it’s a Eucharistic Miracle? If this is a Eucharistic Miracle, then a sacred vessel can be prepared to house the Sacred Species and for adoration of the Host.
What is the Church Position? As of the time of this video, the Church hasn’t officially communicated anything. The Church is prudent, especially when it comes to supernatural occurrences like a Eucharistic Miracle or a case of Possession. Fr. Johnson seems to believe that he witnessed a Eucharistic miracle. We humbly leave the last judgement to Mother Church.
How is this relevant to me? What does this mean for me? Jesus loves you and is truly present in Holy Communion, in the Blessed Sacrament, so receive Him with reverence and faith and visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament. He will be always with us as He promised – until the end of time.
Repeat of warning and correction regarding this video: a full Host placed in water could take weeks to fully dissolve (not “30 seconds” as mentioned in the video). Even small fragments/particles of the Host can take 10-15 minutes or longer to fully dissolve, depending on how large they are.
