Fr Ronald Pinto started his sermon by giving the example of a true incident which took place in Italy in the nineteenth century. He said that  there was a priest in Italy who didn’t believe that during the mass the host and the wine  which he used to take in his hand was  transformed into the flesh and blood of Jesus. One fine day during the mass when he held  the  host  and wine in his hand got transformed into  the flesh  and blood of Jesus which was witnessed by the  people who were present in the church  and were surprised because it was a miracle which had happened.
