Product Description
The Gospels might not be “good enough” for modernity, and science is certainly its god. But neither is an impediment to the one, true God. Indeed, He is using methods of the twenty-first century — His twenty-first century — to show how our Faith can be proven through Eucharistic miracles with clinical scientific precision.
In this astounding book, prominent cardiologist and author Dr. Franco Serafini walks us through the extensive medical and scientific research into five Eucharistic miracles, unveiling the stunning testimonies of hematologists, oncologists, neurologists, geneticists, molecular biologists, and more who all concluded the same thing: the five Eucharistic miracles are undeniably authentic.
In surprising and fascinating ways, each of these miracles relates to the others: all reveal heart muscle tissue, many reveal a heart that was experiencing extreme suffering, and some reveal a heart still enduring tissue trauma.
You’ll learn how the human DNA found in Eucharistic substances was identified, what kept a revered eighth-century relic alive until the twenty-first century, and how the identical blood group recurred in the unique miracles to provide contemporary man with a thrilling statistical fortress. Best of all, you’ll be armed with the scientific data to prove not only that God is still active in the world but that He desires all of us to be in union with Him through His Most Precious Body and Blood.
FROM WIKIPEDIA
In general, reported Eucharistic miracles usually consist of unexplainable phenomena such as consecrated Hosts visibly transforming into myocardium tissue, being preserved for extremely long stretches of time, surviving being thrown into fire, bleeding, or even sustaining people for decades.





DR SERAFINI

Dr Franco Serafini grew up, received his education and still lives in Bologna, Italy. He is an ordinary Catholic without any particular attributes or group affiliations except for his local home parish. He and his wife are happily married and have two children. Dr Serafini enjoys his work as a cardiologist at a local country hospital he rides his bicycle to on most days, weather permitting. So far, none of his colleagues living in Bologna have taken up the same commuting habit yet!
Around 2015, an unusual medico-scientific interest in a number of Eucharistic miracles overwhelmed the routine of his professional life, made of hospital ward rounds and outpatient clinics. He immediately realized the subject had an enormous importance in terms of its apologetic potential, although no one had ever systematically analyzed it with scientific rigor before. He wondered: “How could this be? Our Lord revealed his physical presence in the Eucharist and allowed forensic medicine to perform medical investigations on himself? Did CSI scientists actually describe his Flesh and Blood and nobody talked about it?”
Since then, in his spare time, Dr Serafini began collecting and appraising all available clinical evidence about five Eucharistic events officially recognized as miraculous by the Catholic Church. In the process, he made connections with the Polish, Mexican and Argentinian scientists who were involved in the most recent investigations. He also often travelled around the world to meet these experts along with local eye witnesses in person.
The book Un cardiologo visita Gesù – A Cardiologist Examines Jesus published in 2018 by Edizioni Studio Domenicano was the result of his hardheaded personal and comprehensive research. After the unexpected success of his book, Dr Serafini effectively became known as a reference person and medical expert in this mysterious and fascinating subject at the interface between science and faith.
Since 2018, Dr Serafini had to practically reinvent himself as a public speaker on this topic, as invited to give talks around Italy, release multiple radio and television interviews and participate in film and documentary shoots.
This is not over yet: his book has been recently published in Polish and is also due to be published very soon in both Spanish and English.
PAT SAYS
From what I understand Dr Serafini has tested five Eucharistic miracles – in which it is claimed that blood is the blood of Jesus Christ.
He is a cardiologist and has involved other specialist doctors in his research.
Dr Serafina claims that he has discovered heart tissue in these miracles.
Dr Serafini’s claims are new and surprising.
As a Catholic Christian I do believe that in the Eucharist I receive the real Body and Blood of Jesus under the forms of bread and wine.
It will be interesting to see if Dr Serafini”s claims are backed up by the whole scientific community.
I wonder how MMM will react to this news?
Will he re-embrace his Catholic faith?

If it was a miracle the blood would contain all the blood groups to show that Jesus wants to save us all. Now are we being told that people with blood type ab are the only ones Jesus is going to save as they are made in God’s image who have blood type ab.
The eucharistic meaning is allowing God’s love act in us as we help each other along the road to salvation. The sacraments and prayer are a help to us to understand God’s love but it is the kindness and love in Gods name that we show to the ordinary people we meet each day that is the road to salvation.

Pat, you should have left out your question to MMM. It is expressed as a teaser for him. You can write his response. The faith, theology and teachings I have received convince me that in the Eucharist I am receiving the very life of God in and through the body and blood of Jesus Christ, made truly manifest in the Eucharist. I believe in the great gift of the Eucharist. I believe in the healing geace of the Eucharist. I value the Eucharist as a profound encounter with God. Jesus draws us to God…What we do at the Eucharist is what Jesus asked: Do this in memory of me..We keep the memory of Jesus sacred and holy in and through the Eucharist. We truly receive his body and blood. It is the richness of my faith. It is fascinating that medical and scientific personnel assert their religious beliefs and confirm Eucharistic miracles.

Cosmologist Lawrence Knauss provides some interesting ideas on our universe’s origins. Dawkins provides excellent ideas on the origins and development of living organisms. Hitchens ably demolishes religious beliefs by showing their incomprehensible contradictions. I prefer to be informed by such polymaths than the “smoke and mirrors” faith mantras of religious beliefs, for, like Hitchens I see such utter cobbled together gobbledygook in its propositions, ……and that’s before I consider the ugly actions of its supposed acolytes, the clerical class.

Scientific Proof For The Eucharist
By Laura Hensley
May 12, 2022.
‘After Pew Research published a poll in 2019 stating that only one third of all Catholics believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, there has been renewed energy among those who do believe to spread the word to those who don’t. This is the foundation of what separates Catholics from other Christian denominations; we are the ones who believe fully in the words that Jesus spoke during the Last Supper and he wanted us to repeat this miracle at each and ever Mass. Dr. Franco Serafini, a prominent cardiologist and author, reveals the science behind the Eucharist and provides proof from other scientists the research into five Eucharistic Miracles. A Cardiologist Examines Jesus: The Stunning Science Behind Eucharistic Miracles, by Dr. Franco Serafini, shows us that science is real and can be used to prove the existence of God.’

Smoke and mirrors at best, and as a previous comment says, by ‘snake oil salesmen.’

There is a difference between proof, evidence and scientific examination of unusual phenomena. Lanciano Eucharistic miracle dates back to 750AD. In 1970, more than 1,200 years later, the archbishop of Lanciano, with Rome’s approval, requested a thorough scientific examination of the miraculous relics by Dr. Edward Linoli, director of the hospital at Arezzo and professor of anatomy, histology, chemistry, and clinical microscopy. His report, submitted on March 4, 1971, detailed the following results:
The coagulated substance is human blood, AB blood type, with the same protein distribution as found in normal, fresh blood
The host is human muscular striated tissue of the myocardium, left ventricle (heart); arteries, veins, branch of vagus nerve, and adipose tissue all can be identified.
Like the blood, the flesh is also fresh, living tissue, because it responded rapidly to all the clinical reactions distinctive of living beings as if the flesh and blood samples had been taken that day.Histological tests revealed no sign of preservation techniques of any kind.

Leonie at yesterday’s Post,
I contribute less and less on this bog as time pass by except for an issue which might interest me.
But in the meantime, I continue to read this blog for the time being. I sensed re losing interest which is working especially weaning off from this blog nice and slow in last few months. But it accelerated much faster than I thought.
Readers, anyway apart from that, today blog isn’t surprising cos I had visited lanciano in Italy back then and also visited a stigmatic priest(deceased) outside of Rome. Which turned out to be a fake stigmatist priest. PBXvi barred him to exile and stripped his priestly status I think. Nuns were all flocking around him to protect him which was unreal as my camera was stolen at that place.
Let us aside the science for now, before we return back to science. I noticed when at live exposition of the eucharistic, it comes alive at time as if something was there – no science, just anecdotal experience of mine and few others as well. What I’m saying was, when eucharist was exposed, it’s no longer empty (like I used to find myself feeling empty in some protestant churches) but something is there if you get my drift. Sometimes, I feel a ripple of wave coming from eucharist exposed live. It made me wonder what was it? 🤷♀️
When a priest takes away the host from the monstrance as if it was turned off. (when time was up to end it). Some of us felt the same way when it was removed as if turned off at tap.
It doesn’t happen very often but came across like that from time to time. That’s my anecdotal experience. Few others felt the same way as myself.
Anyway back to science, jesus blood group was supposed to be AB group I think. But science isn’t perfect as they claimed it to be. Covid 19 is another example where science failed cis it wasn’t convincing nor through.

Maximus would say ‘Rome, Rome, Rome, mother of all cities, my camera was stolen inside a church, imagine that 🙈😉. I couldn’t believe it but I realised its ROME after all, re petty crime and sorts, not on the same planet as Bangkok.
That church was run by
the nuns whose order that brother turned into a priest stigmatist founded it. He was abusing seminarians, left, right and centre as he needed young seminarians, not fully fledged priests. Mostly seminarians from USA were flocking to that place outside of Rome. We visited him as a side trip as part of our Italian trip. It was that church where I found him very cold and aloof, he was quite tall well over 6ft 3 inches of him. His name was fr gino Burresi of the oblate of Mary order. We didn’t know re his hidden history as it was covered up by the Vatican via jpii. It was only when Ratzinger became a Pope, then he did the first thing next day is to banish that brother into priest stigmatist into exile with strict restrictions, no seminarians et al.
I don’t know how people especially Americans fell for him and gave him loads of money to build a church some 12. 5kms outside of rome.
I noticed one thing during our trip in Italy, male waitress was v handsome, he drooled over a gay irish man. That was starting point of lesson 101 re Rome/rcc and homosexuality.
