After breakfast we continue to the visit to the Sanctuary of Padre Pio the guided visit of St. Mary our Lady of Grace & Shrine of St. Padre Pio in San Giovanni (Tomb)
Later we proceed to Lanciano, site of the Miracle of the Holy Eucharistic. The church of the Eucharistic Miracle is located in the center of the town Lanciano is a small, medieval town, nestled in from the coast of the Adriatic Sea in Italy, halfway between San Giovanni Rotondo and Loreto. But what is the center of the town today was the outskirts of the town back in the Eighth Century, when the Eucharistic Miracle occurred. A more physical sign, however, was that Longinus had had poor eyesight, and after having touched his eyes with the water and blood from on the side of Jesus, his eyesight was restored. What a perfect parallel the actions of the Centurion went to the Eucharistic Miracle. He touched the Heart of Jesus, was healed, and converted. He gave up the Army, went to Cappadocia, and was martyred for the faith. He is known now as Saint Longinus and then to Rome, stay.
