Eucharistic Experiences July 17th, 1958. As I was in church this morning and followed the preparations for Holy Mass, something very strange happened to my eyes. I naturally had them open, as I was watching the altar. And yet it was as though my eyes suddenly jumped open. I cannot express myself better. I also felt it physically. Then I saw the priest and the altar disappear as in a mist in the background. A very bright light now appeared before my eyes. In that light I saw three figures linked with each other in a semi circle. These were of extreme whiteness- white fire I would almost call it. It startled me, for I could not look at it. I placed my hands before my eyes and really thought, "I am going blind". Yet interiorly I was compelled to keep on looking so I did.Then something very peculiar took place: the three figures expanded slowly, becoming larger and larger, until they formed a semi circle. After this they joined together to form a circle. The centre still appeared as a dark patch. Subsequently, the figures spread out towards the center. Now only a tiny spot remained dark. Suddenly that spot too was filled, so that all at once a very great sphere of white fire stood before my eyes. I cannot express it other wise. I looked at it; all of a sudden I recognised the Sacred Host, such as I had seen it on May 31st 1958, but without shafts of rays. I could scarcely look at it and a most peculiar state came over me. Thus it stayed before my eyes and I kept gazing. It was white fire-magnificent! Then it seemed as if the Sacred Host slowly faded away and the High Altar as well as the Lady Altar were bathed in a beautiful light. That lasted for a moment. Suddenly, everything appeared again as usual, as it had been when I entered the church. The priest meanwhile had arrived at the Epistle. 11th March, 1959 Immediately after the Credo I saw the Altar bathed in an immensely bright light. The priest and the Alter retreated into the background and I saw nothing but light. From it emerged, in the air above the altar, three figures, framed by a faint circular outline, just as I had seen them they year before on July 17th, 1958 in the same place. Everything now proceeded as then: the light hurt and I thought I would be blinded. The shock was so great that I thought my heart would stop. again I saw these three figures expanding until they formed a circle. Then they filled up in the central space, leaving only one tiny dark spot. But now came the difference: suddenly I saw something burst asunder within that dark spot and it was as if I saw in that great shining circle two heavenly, divine figures (forgive my resumption) and yet it was but one figure with out spread arms. I kept on seeing two, whereas it was just one. It was something so brilliant and heavenly that I hardly dared to look and yet I had to. The figure was floating. I would say, and fully ablaze of light, but I could not see any source of light. Thus I sat gazing at it. Then it seemed as though something was breaking away from the two figures and all at once I saw a Dove emerge from one of the hands, wholly of light and emitting rays. On the other side, a Cross appeared at shoulder level. All that remained before me, I do not know for how long. Then all of a sudden everything became a ball or a circle of white fire and I saw-or better still, I thought I saw again-a shining Sacred Host. (When I left the church, everything in the street looked dark to me, although the sun was shining and the sky was a radiant blue. My eyes were still paining me from the light. Once again I really did see that with my eyes. And what I felt at that moment, I cannot describe. I was in fear and dread and yet not really-simply overawed) After the vision, the church bore its usual look again I saw the priest and the altar as before. Just then the bell rang for Holy Communion. 30th August, 1959 I received Holy Communion and returned to my place. All of a sudden the Sacred Host began to grow on my tongue, becoming larger and thicker. It seemed to expand and then suddenly, it became alive. Truly! Strange though it might sound, I felt it as a living object. It must seem irreverently expressed; yet it may help people to form some idea of it when I say, "It resembled a living fish in its movements." I wanted to take it out of my mouth in order to see what it was; but of course reverence prevented me from doing so. As may be imagined, I got a terrible shock-it was awful! Never having experienced anything like it, I could not make out what was happening to me. But at the same time a completely different perception arose in me, something so delightful. I may well say, something heavenly. It was a state such as I had never known Then suddenly I heard. "Be not afraid...I am the Lord, your Creator....the Lord Jesus Christ ....the Giver of Life" (the dots indicate a silence) "Just as I live in you now, I want to and shall live among all nations." After this the Sacred Host began to grow smaller and thinner; it resumed its usual form and I was able to consume it. Subsequently, I did not go to church for a whole week-excepting Sunday, of course-in order to check up on myself. Nothing out of the ordinary took place. 9th September, 1959 However, on September 9th I had the same experience again and at the end I was told "Do pass this on." Since then it has not happened again, although I have been to Holy Communion daily. 11th October, 1959 Today, however, October 11, 1959, it was repeated. The same experience, the same extra-ordinary state. Today the words were "I am your Lord Jesus Christ..the Giver of Life....Fear nothing. Through the Will of the Father and the power of the Giver of Life, I shall dwell among all nations, just as I now dwell in you...Do understand the Daily-Wonder. Do what she, who was sent by Me-the Lady of All Nations-has told you to do....Pass this on". Then the Sacred Host decreased in size; I felt it dissolve on my tongue, becoming smaller and smaller, until nothing solid was left to consume. Only A liquid remained, which had a wonderful kind of taste, not to be compared with anything else.
