Eucharistic Miracle Rimini, Italy
Eucharistic Miracle Rimini, Italy: “The miracle story happened in 1227 at Rimini, Italy. A faithless man, Bonovillo, did not believe that Holy Communion is truly Christ’s Body. Saint Anthony tried to lead him to the Catholic Faith but both argued back and forth. Later, Bonovillo challenged St Anthony and said that he would keep his mule in a cage for three days without food. After three days, St Anthony would bring the Blessed Sacrament in front the donkey, and if his mule ate food then there is no Catholic Faith. But if the mule didn’t eat the food, then Bonovillo would convert to the Catholic Faith. St Anthony happily accepted the challenge and set up the date and time. (Eucharistic Miracle Rimini, Italy) On the third day at the Piazza Grande, a crowd of people gathered to witness and Bonovillo brought a hungry donkey. When St Anthony appeared with a monstrance with a Host, he said “By virtue of and in the name of your Creator Whom however unworthy I may be, hold in my hands, I tell you and command you: come forward at once and render homage to the Lord with due respect so that evildoers and heretic may understand that all creatures should bow before their Creator Whom the priests hold in their hands on the altar”. In the meantime, Bonovillo tried to feed some food to his hungry mule, but his mule refused and kneeled to respect the Host in adoration. Everybody was shocked and kneeled as well. Bonovillo was shocked and fell to his feet and he converted to the Catholic faith right away. Today, you can visit the church, The Shrine of the Holy Eucharist in Rimini.” Youtube Post
