Eucharistic Miracle:
'HIS HAND WAS THROWN OFF THE MONSTRANCE, AND IT APPEARED TO HAVE BURNED . . .'
Fr. Chris Alar was leading a Eucharistic procession through the Cree Indian reservation neighborhood,
on the Southern end of Reindeer Lake in Saskatoon (Canada)
when two young men stopped him in his tracks and shouted vulgarities aimed at the Blessed Sacrament.
"I was at complete peace,"
Fr. Chris recalls.
"All I did was grip the Monstrance tightly because I knew they wanted to desecrate the Eucharist in some way.
They threatened me, but they were more concerned with wanting to desecrate the Eucharist.
Then one of them grabbed the Monstrance,
and the moment he grabbed it,
his hand was thrown off the Monstrance,
and it appeared to have burned his hands.
He gripped his hands in pain.
We all saw it.
The man then stepped back,
and the two of them got out of the way."
Father Chris continues,
"God once in a while gives a sign, and man,
did He give a sign!
I left Canada with a renewed wonder for the truth of the Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament."
