Miracles of Miersen: Shaun McAfee on Eucharistic Devotion, Prioritizing Mass, and Sunday Rest
What can two extraordinary 13th- and 15th-century Eucharistic miracles in the Netherlands teach modern Catholics about prioritizing Christ, keeping the Sabbath, and managing time through divine grace? On The Son Rise Morning Show, co-host Anna Mitchell welcomes back Shaun McAfee—author and compiler of Eucharistic miracle histories. McAfee explores the dual miracles of Miersen, Netherlands: a 1222 blood miracle on the altar corporal and a 1465 church fire where a farmer rescued the consecrated Host—returning to find his fields miraculously plowed by heavenly intervention. Drawing parallels to St. Isidore the Farmer and the heroic rescue of the Blessed Sacrament during the Notre Dame Cathedral fire, Mitchell and McAfee discuss the spiritual fruits of placing Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and true Sunday rest at the center of daily life.
