9. Woman Nourished by Just One Sacred Host a Day
Via listverse.com
Therese Neumann (1898 – 1962) of Bavaria, Germany was blinded and partially paralyzed by several accidents she suffered. In fact, being bedridden caused her to develop bed sores so terrible they sometimes exposed her bone. However, beginning April 29, 1923, the day St. Therese of Lisieux was beatified, Therese claimed the saint had cured her paralysis, had gotten rid of her bedsores, and had restored her eyesight. Furthermore, from the day of her miraculous cure until her death in 1962, she was also reported to have consumed no solid nourishment except for The Holy Eucharist. Within that period, she also reportedly developed stigmata on her chest and on her left hand. As a result of these unexplained phenomena, in 2005, the Church formally began proceedings for Therese Neumann’s beatification.
