The Donkey That Worshipped Jesus: St. Anthony's Eucharistic Miracle

About this sermon

Today we reflect on the life and miracles of St. Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Church, renowned preacher, defender of the Catholic Faith, and patron saint of lost things. Discover the remarkable story of the saint who preached to the fish when heretics refused to listen, and learn about the famous Eucharistic miracle in which a starving donkey ignored food to kneel before the Blessed Sacrament. Through these powerful events, St. Anthony teaches us a profound lesson about the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist and the soul's deepest hunger for God. As six children prepare to receive their First Holy Communion, this sermon explores the longing of the human heart, the testimony of St. Ignatius of Antioch, and the truth that only Christ can satisfy our restless souls. May we hunger for the Bread of God, the Flesh of Jesus Christ, and thirst for His Precious Blood—the gift of unending love.
