Possible Eucharistic Miracle Draws Thousands in Guatemala

katholisch.de Guatemala

Thousands of faithful are flocking to the Catedral de Niño Dios in Guatemala following a possible Eucharistic miracle. Father José Alejandro García told EWTN News that the event has revitalized the local community, with increased attendance at Masses and confessions. In July, a host dropped by a boy did not dissolve in water but developed red spots. The Diocese of Santa Rosa de Lima is investigating whether these marks are blood. An interdisciplinary team is analyzing the sample. The priest urges patience and prayer while awaiting results, noting that only the Vatican can officially recognize a miracle.

United Bible Societies Guatemala

The Netherlands Bible Society reports that one million copies of the Family Bible have been distributed across 50 countries. The resource, adapted from the Dutch Samenleesbijbel, features 100 selected stories to help parents and children explore Scripture together. The millionth copy was recently handed over in Guatemala, where 10,000 families are receiving the book this year. Director Rieuwerd Buitenwerf states that demand exceeds supply, prompting a new campaign to support distribution in nations such as Haiti and Cambodia. The project aims to strengthen intergenerational faith connections through accessible reading materials available in 23 languages.
