Episode Length: 12:11
Episode Summary:
In this tenth installment of the Divine Truth Revealed series, Gabriel and Mary continue their exploration of Eucharistic miracles in France, focusing on two remarkable historical events: Douai (1254) and Faverney (1608).
Douai Miracle – 1254 (St. Amato Church)
- Event: On Easter Sunday, a consecrated host was accidentally dropped by a priest. Instead of falling to the ground, it miraculously hovered and landed on a purificator.
- Apparition: Witnesses reported seeing the image of a child (or Christ) appear on the host.
- Witness Testimony: Dominican Father Thomas de Cantimpré, a respected Dominican theologian and suffragan bishop, traveled to investigate and later documented his experience of seeing Christ’s face crowned with thorns and drops of blood.
- Historical Aftermath: A feast day was established. During the French Revolution, the host disappeared but was rediscovered in 1854 with a letter from 1793 confirming its authenticity and preservation.
- Today: The host is still venerated in St. Peter's Church, Douai, every Thursday of the month.
Faverney Miracle – 1608 (Benedictine Abbey)
- Context: At a time of religious turmoil and declining monastic discipline, the monks exposed the Blessed Sacrament for adoration during Pentecost.
- Miracle: After a fire destroyed the temporary altar, the monstrance containing two consecrated hosts was found miraculously suspended in the air, completely untouched by the flames.
- Resolution: The monstrance descended by itself during Mass at the moment of consecration.
- Recognition: The Archbishop of Besançon quickly authenticated the event, and Pope Paul V issued a papal indulgence. The miracle revived faith amid the challenges of the Reformation.
- Legacy: One of the two hosts is still venerated in Faverney, while the second was tragically destroyed during the French Revolution.
