One of the greatest gifts of our Catholic Faith is the Eucharist, in which Jesus Christ is truly present to us. Throughout history, God has confirmed the doctrine of the Real Presence by means of dozens of Eucharistic Miracles in which the host and/or Eucharistic wine takes on the appearance and characteristics of human flesh and blood. That's what Dr. Chris and Robyn Bruggeman talk about in this episode. Enjoy! Be sure to like, subscribe and share with your friends!

During this week's Biblical Bites, Dr. B corrects my West Coast mannerisms. I (Elise) was unaware there's a Midwest way of holding up seven fingers. I'm still convinced I am correct, but I won't hold it against him because by the end of the episode, he essentially told me I'm glorious and beautiful. Enjoy this week's Biblical Bites!
