Fr. Tyler holding the Sacred Host in a way that takes the shape of a heart – what a striking and fitting image! As we all know, the results of scientific tests on consecrated hosts (involving those reported as Eucharistic miracles) confirm their transformation (or more precisely, transubstantiation) into myocardial tissue. According to Dr. Frederic Zugiba, the substance was real flesh and blood: “The analyzed material is a fragment of the heart muscle found in the wall of the left ventricle close to the valves. This muscle is responsible for the contraction of the heart. It should be borne in mind that the left cardiac ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body. The heart muscle is in an inflammatory condition and contains a large number of white blood cells. This indicates that the heart was alive at the time the sample was taken. It is my contention that the heart was alive, since white blood cells die outside a living organism. They require a living organism to sustain them. Thus, their presence indicates that the heart was alive when the sample was taken. What is more, these white blood cells had penetrated the tissue, which further indicates that the heart had been under severe stress, as if the owner had been beaten severely about the chest.” https://www.clairedwyer.com/the-heart-was-alive-a-eucharistic-miracle/ https://www.ncregister.com/features...ergone-the-most-extensive-scientific-analysis In response, we can console Our Lord with this aspiration: “Oh Jesus, my Beloved, who are also my King, [my Lord, my God and my all,] make my heart a flame of pure love for You.” (Note: I cannot find the source of the short prayer, and I added the italicized phrase).
Our Lady taught that short prayer to Sister Josefa when receiving Holy Communion ( The Way of Divine Love) " O my beloved who art also my God. Make my heart a flame of of pure love for Thee."
