Your Message From God

Secrets

As you read this article you should know there is a secret message embedded in what you are looking at.  You’ll have access to it if you believe.  Jesus communicates with us in many different ways, but we are not going to hear or understand him unless we believe and trust.  So close your eyes and ask him what is his message to you.  If one doesn’t come, maybe it’s because either your belief or trust is lacking.  You can fix that; simply visit the Adoration Chapel and ask him for his help.  He is waiting for you, and he always loves to help.  Nothing does the soul more good than committing to one hour of Eucharistic Adoration every week.

Human Blood From A Consecrated Host

 St. Martin of Tours Parish - Tixtla, Mexico

On October 21, 2006, at St Martin of Tours Parish in Tixla Mexico, a Eucharistic host was found to be bleeding as it was about to be given in Holy Communion.  Under the Bishop’s direction, scientists investigated thoroughly and confirmed the presence of blood, type AB, that contained human hemoglobin and DNA.  This blood type matches the blood found in other Eucharistic miracles, most notably Lanciano, Italy in 750 and Buenos Aires in 1996, as well as on the Shroud of Turin.  Forensic experts stated that the blood was not applied to the host but was instead seeping from within the host.  In fact, more study several years after the initial discovery revealed that beneath the coagulated blood, the host continued to bleed.  The blood was seeping from human tissue, heart muscle called myocardium, with both red and white blood cells.  This meant the tissue was living.

(Pocket Guide to Adoration - Ascension Press p47)

Blood was coming from the same living tissue we find in the Eucharistic hosts placed within our tabernacle in church, and within the Monstrance we pray before in the Adoration Chapel.  It is He.  May the Lord continue to fill us with wonder and awe at these miracles, and to give us a deep fervor for the Eucharist whenever and wherever we encounter the Body of Christ.

Wishing Our Blessed Mother A Happy Mother’s Day

There is no one in heaven, besides Jesus, who wishes us to lead our lives on earth in a way that will allow us to reach the heavenly reward and spend eternity in her presence.  Know that the Mother of God is pulling for you and wants to help if only you would place yourself in her hands as her child.  If you haven’t already done so, do it now!

Our Blessed Mother is always in the heavenly presence of her Divine Son.  Because of this you can find Our Lady in our Adoration Chapel with Jesus.  Stop by and wish her a happy Mother’s Day!

Adoration By The Numbers:

Our parish has committed to Adoring Our Lord in the chapel 18 hours a day (6AM - Midnight), 5 days a week (M-F).  Currently we have 126 Committed Adorers pledged to cover at least one hour every week.  Our goal has always been to have a minimum of two people committed for every hour so everyone has a partner.   We’re not doing well reaching that goal because fifty-six (56) of the ninety (90) hours committed have only one person adoring.  Currently we have 6 hours during the week without a scheduled adorer.  We try to fill those hours by requesting a substitute each week.  There are also 4 hours where the adorer has asked for a partner to share the hour with.

In addition to those committed to an hour every week there are sixty-four (64) people who have volunteered to be a substitute willing to fill-in for a committed Adorer when a need arises.  Of those 64, 37 have not fulfilled a request in the past 6 months. 

Committed Adorers sign in for their hour using a kiosk each time they enter the chapel.  This works great for ‘committed’, but we were missing those people who just visited occasionally.

In an effort to solve that we added a paper based “Visitor’s Log” which helped get a better handle of how many people actually use the chapel.  We are very blessed that our chapel get’s a lot of traffic, but there’s still too many who won’t take a moment to sign the log.  If you’re a visitor to the chapel please take that moment to let us know you were there.

** During Lent 2024 a total 393 visitors registered in the Adoration Chapel **
   (A better breakdown is not available.)
** During Lent 2025 a total 427 visitors registered in the Adoration Chapel **
   (Of 427 - 166 registered as IHM parishioners - 241 registered from other parishes 
     - and only 20 didn’t list affiliation.)

With the help of the Holy Spirit we will continue to grow.  If you are willing to make a commitment do so by going to the website below.
