Chocolate toothpaste. I had a dream that I went to church and there was a sign saying they had a problem and to go to the local gas station where someone would be distributing communion. So I go and see the line for communion, I'm the last one in line. As I reach the lady distributing communion she has her back towards me and is locking up a big metal container. She turns and sees me there waiting to recieve communion with a surprised look and says come back tomorrow. So, I come back the next day, see the line and once again I'm the last one. The person in front of me recieves communion and once again the lady has her back towards me locking up the metal container. She turns towards me once again acting surprised and I said you have to wait till everyone recieves communion and this time I wasn't leaving. So she frantically opens the container looking through it and pulls out chocolate toothpaste and squeezes it for communion. I look at her in shock and said what have you been giving people? She didn't have faith in the communion host and when she ran out anything could be a substitute. She believed I would accept this gesture of communion. Her look said to me its just a symbol my look to her said its not a symbol and it cannot be replaced. Symbol or reality, the consecrated host will be consumed by faith and love or like a piece of food that reminds one of Christ but is not the real deal. The flesh and blood of Christ has become eatable for body, heart, soul and mind, a privileged union for those who believe. ************ A website of Eucharistic Miracles http://www.acfp2000.com/Miracles/eucharistic.html **********Chinese Eucharistic Martyr inspired Archbishop Fulton Sheen to pray his Holy Hour
During China's 1911 Republican Revolution or the earlier Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901), anti-Catholic militants seized a Catholic parish. They confined the pastor to house arrest. From his rectory window he witnessed the desecration of the Church. He knew that there had been thirty-two consecrated hosts in the tabernacle. An eleven year old girl was praying at the back of the church and the guards either did not see her or else paid no attention to her. She returned to the Church that night and made a Holy Hour and then consumed one of the sacred hosts, bending down to receive Jesus on her tongue. She continued to return every night, making a nightly Holy Hour and consuming one sacred host. On the last night, the thirty-second night, unfortunately a guard was awakened after she consumed the sacred host. He chased her, grabbed her, and beat her to death with his rifle. Archbishop Fulton Sheen became aware of her martyrdom while he was a seminarian. He was so inspired by her sacrifice that he promised to pray a holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament each day for the rest of his life.
