What can a 12th-century German Eucharistic miracle teach modern Catholics about reverence, conscience, and the proper way to receive the Blessed Sacrament? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Matt Swaim welcomes back author Shaun McAfee, editor and compiler of The Compendium of Eucharistic Miracles, to explore the extraordinary history of the Flesh Miracle of Augsburg.

McAfee and Swaim discuss the origins of the miracle in 1194, when a woman kept a consecrated host at home before repenting in confession five years later—only for the Eucharist to visibly transform into bleeding human flesh. They examine the profound lessons on receiving rather than seizing the Eucharist, the subsequent visions surrounding the Church of the Holy Cross in Augsburg, and how this miracle survived the Protestant Reformation, Napoleonic suppression, and the destruction of World War II to remain a lasting testament to the Real Presence.
