Louis IX and the Miraculous Host
During the reign of Louis IX, king of France, while Mass was being celebrated in one of the churches of Paris, Our Lord appeared in the sacred Host in the form of a little child. The people ran in crowds to the church, driven by curiosity to see this marvel. Someone went to the saintly King Louis to inform him of what had taken place. But the king did not leave his room. On being asked why he remained away, he answered, “God works this miracle for the sake of the unbelievers, not for the faithful. I do not need to be convinced of the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Had I happened to be present when this miracle took place, I would have closed my eyes, so as to not lose the merit of faith.”
