INTEGRATING RELIGION WITH ELEMENTS OF SCIENCE. SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION - A PARADIGM SHIFT



(PART 14)

A Proven Holy Communion Miracle

In the 8th Century, a miracle occurred in the city of Lanciano, Italy,  involving the  Holy Communion. This is called a Eucharistic Miracle because it is one of the miracle involving the Eucharist.

A monk who had doubted the presence of Christ in the Eucharist was celebrating Mass and when he said the words of consecration, he found that the bread and wine changed into flesh and blood. 

This miracle was investigated by the Catholic Church and officially claimed it as authentic.





Proof of the Holy Bible on the Holy Rosary

(A Catholic Chaplet)
Below are some Biblical References to confirm that all of the Rosary (Catholic Chaplet) is from the Holy Bible:-
1.    THE CREED OR CREDO
This is said on the Crucifix - (the Image of Crucified Jesus), It summarizes all that Christians believe, regarding their faith i.e. covering the entire Bible beginning from Gen. Chap. 1 to Revelation, which is the last book in the Bible.
2.    “The Our Father” (the Lord’s prayer) contained in Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:2-4
3.    Next comes the Angelic Salutation or the Hail Mary
·       The 1st part;
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee” Taken from Luke 1: 28.
·       This is followed by:
Blessed art thou amongst women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Taken from Luke 1: 42.
4.    Mother of God
·       Mary is the Mother of God for Jesus, son of Mary is God. The second person in the Trinity.
·       The following Bible passages confirm that Jesus, the son of Mary is God.
·       “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the Government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called wonderful, counsellor, the might God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.”
(Isiah 9:6)
·       “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.”
(John 1:1)
·       Lord Jesus Himself tells us that He and the Father are one in John 17:21, John 10:38, John 14:8-11.
·       He has also confirmed that He has been existing with the Father before the world was made.
(John 17:5)
This leads us to the mystery of the Blessed Trinity; three Persons in one God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God says;

·       “For there are three that bear witness in heaven;The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit and these three are one.”
(1st John 5:7)
From the Gideon’s International Holy Bible.
·       ‘Phillip said, “Lord, show us the Father and then we shall be satisfied”. Jesus said unto him, “Have I been with you all this time, Phillip, and you still do not know me?
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, “Show us the Father?
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
What I say to you, I do not speak of my own accord. It is the Father, living in me, who is doing his works.
You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me or at least believe it on the evidence of these works.”’
(John 14:8-11)
·       The Holy Bible passage below also tells us that Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit prophesied that the newly conceived child in the Queen Virgin Mother’s womb is God.
‘And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit.
Then, she spoke out with a loud voice and said; “Blessed are thou amongst women, and Blessed is fruit of your womb.
But why is this granted to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?
For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.”
Luke 1:41-44
The Baptism of Lord Jesus also confirms that He is God.
·       ‘Now it happened that when the people had been baptized and while Jesus after his baptism was at prayer, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a physical form, like a Dove and a voice came from Heaven, “You are my son; Today have I fathered you”.’See Luke 3:21 -22, John 1: 32-34; Psalm 2:7
·       Lord Jesus said: “but even Moses showed in the Burning Bush Passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”
(Luke 20:37)
5.    The Next part of the Holy Rosary is: “Pray for us
MARY CAN PRAY FOR US
Jesus never refuses Mother Mary's request. It was at the instance of her request that His first miracle was performed, even though Jesus Himself explained to her that it was not yet time for Him to do so. See John 2: 1-11
·       Mary is still alive in heaven, for Jesus Himself tells us so in the Holy Bible, that those worthy of resurrection do not die
·       ‘Jesus said unto her, “I am the resurrection and the Life, He that believes in me, though He was dead, yet He shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die, believes thou this?”’
 (John 11: 25-26)
·       Our Lord also tells us that those worthy of resurrection become one with the Angels and so can no longer die. He pointed out to us that He is the God of the living and not of the dead, hence the scripture said God of Abraham, showing that Abraham though dead in the flesh is alive in the spirit
(Matt 22: 30 32)
·       The last part of the Rosary is ‘… sinners, now and at the hour of our death.’
·       All are sinners. The Bible confirms that we are all sinners in 1 John 1:8; Rom 3: 23; Rom 5:12 etc.
·       Lord Jesus also tells us that those in Heaven watch over and communicates with the living
“There shall be more joy in Heaven over one repentant sinner more than 99 that need no repentance.
·       Lord Jesus Himself said He came not for thyself righteous but the sinners.
·       Hence he established His Church to heal us of our sinful state. He says to the Apostles;
“Whose sins ye shall forgive they are forever, whose sins ye shall retain, they are retained.”
·       The Holy Bible says that our wars our spirit to weight down and advises and repent. See John 5.
·       Even in the Lord's Prayer taught us by Lord Jesus Himself, a section of it says;
“Forgive us our sins as we forgive others”.
