The internet is a bearer of all manner of news, and so we of the Society for a Good Time are ever wary of surprising reports of prodigies that bear no means of external authentication. We thus mention this story to our readers in hopes of spreading awareness of its existence, with the hope that some one will be able to provide us with more information on this purported happening, which was passed on to us, with some measure of healthy scepticism, by one of our Society’s dear friends. Note that St. James Church is in Oak Cliff, part of the city and diocese of Dallas, TX.

Update: It appears the “blood” coloring comes from the growth of bacteria and is therefore not miraculous. Sorry, folks!

It has been said that a month ago someone received Holy Communion at Mass and either threw up in or just spat the Host in a waste basket. A man found It and told the priest. The priest put the Consecrated Host in a glass of water and covered the glass and set it aside. He forgot about The Host until this last Sunday and told a man to check on the glass to see if the Host was dissolved. The water in the glass had gone down a bit, but the Host was not dissolved, so he pour some fresh water in the glass and immediately the Host began to bleed.

Our Bishop was out of town but will be back in Tuesday and is suppose to go to the church to investigate.

No one seems to know how long the Host will remain at St. James Church, but the church will open at 9:00 am this Tuesday for people to come and see the Host.
