I used to go to Guadalajara regularly on business. Over a period of a year and a half I went there at least 5 times. I liked Guadalajara, even though I was in pretty bad shape at least part of that time. On I think my last trip there, my wife called me frantically telling me she was in labor! By the time she called me it was too late to get back to Dallas. So, I left early the next morning. It turns out my wife did not have our daughter Elena for another two weeks.
But, enough of the personal matters, there is great excitement in Mexico right now over what appears to be a fantastic Eucharistic miracle. This event has occurred in Guadalajara in Jalisco state – the state in Mexico that has produced more Saints than any other country or state in the entire western hemisphere. I just learned about Saint Sabas Reyes Salazar last night! This miracle is heavily documented, with several videos showing the Host seeming to “leak” red liquid that looks like blood. While our faith in the Eucharist should never depend on such miracles, and getting too heavily focused on experiencing one personally can really distort one’s interior life, this could be – could be – an immense, moving sign of God’s reality to a cold, faithless world:
If you look closely at the monstrance, it even appears that some Blood – if it is that – has leaked out and is running down the front. The priest even wipes some away @ 1:20.
The story:
A Mexican priest is claiming that, after hearing the voice of God, the host which he had just consecrated began to bleed. The bloody host was available for adoration for some time, at which point the Archbishop ordered the Host to be reposed until further investigation…….
…..It was 12:00 on the date when the pastor was making his daily prayer before the Blessed Sacrament when suddenly saw a flash and heard a voice that instructed him:
“Chime the bells to summon everyone, pour out blessings to those who are present, and all day. Take your small tabernacle from private worship and bring it to the altar of the parish, place the largest monstrance next to it, and do not open the Tabernacle until three in the afternoon, no sooner, when I will perform a miracle in the Eucharist. The miracle to take place will be called the “Miracle of the Eucharist in the Incarnation of Love Joined With Our Mother and Queen,’ you will take the sign of which I speak, and you will display it.”
Afterward, “the voice” told him to tell “the apostles” (the priests) to help all souls in their conversion and fill them with blessings.
Father Lolo–as his parishioners know him–said he could not utter a word to that voice that spoke except, “My Lord, am thy servant, I will do thy will.”
His voice breaking with emotion that he could not conceal, the priest continued narrating what happened:
“I did as I was ordered, I asked them to open the doors of the church, it was about half past two, and I said to sound the bells as I was told. I took from my small private chapel this humble wooden tabernacle, I put it on the altar, also got the monstrance as I was ordered and at about three in the afternoon people were gathered in prayer to the Blessed Sacrament. When I asked if it was already three in the afternoon and everyone told me yes, I went to open the tabernacle, and the wafer consecrated through our Lord Jesus Christ was bathed in blood.”
The father explained that what Jesus wants is to worship his body and blood bound to His Blessed Mother and that every July 24 we will remember the Eucharistic Miracle of the Incarnation of Love Joined with Our Mother and Lady.

The Archbishop has apparently ordered the Host removed from view and it is undergoing study. I guess we will know more later.
Will we have a new Eucharistic Feast one day?
I will let you know if I find any further information.
