In Faverney, France, in the year 1600, there was a monastery of St. Benedict. This monastery had only 6 monks and 2 novices who always encouraged the faith of the people. On May 25, 1600, the Feast of Pentecost, the monks made a beautiful wooden altar adorned with beautiful flowers. The ceremony was beautiful and fervent. At night, the monks left the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance on this Altar with two candles and went to sleep. On May 26, 1600, there was a fire at this altar and a lot of fire burned the church. However, the Ostensory and the Host were not struck by fire. This Ostensory rose and hovered in the air before them all, unbroken. The fire was extinguished, and the Ostensory still hovered in the air. Fathers, religious and a large crowd of people went to the site to see the miracle. Many prayers and masses were made there while the Ostensory remained motionless and suspended in the air, day and night. During the consecration of the Mass on May 27, the Ostensory changed position, descended gently to the Altar and landed there. That was the end of the miracle. The Ostensory was suspended for 33 hours in the air. In this Ostensory there was also a relic of Saint Agatha, a proclamation of the Pope's indulgences and a letter from the bishop who also remained undamaged from the fire. The Host of this miracle remains uncorrupted to this day in the Church of Our Lady of La Blanche.Monday, April 6, 2020
