You remember the viral video of a Catholic priest that was seen weeping during the celebration of the Mass? He has released a statement to explain what he experienced. Take time to read. It'll uplift your faith and make you appreciate the Mass all the more.

A Statement from Father Brent Bowman on Eucharistic Experience During Mass
September 16, 2026

To the good people of God:

Praise be Jesus Christ, now and forever!

On Monday, September 14, I celebrated the Holy Mass for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Hopkins, MN. Present were Chesterton Academy students, faculty and staff and parishioners of the parish. During the Mass, I had a private spiritual experience while praying the Eucharistic prayer over the bread and wine and I want to humbly share and clarify what I experienced all for God’s glory and praise. In doing so, I also want to correct any misinformation as the Mass recording is being shared online.

To clarify up front, my experience was NOT what the Catholic Church considers a “Eucharistic miracle.” The forms of bread and wine retained their accidents (i.e., their appearance and taste) during this entire experience. Never did I see real blood or human flesh with my eyes.

My experience was this:

During the consecration prayer over the wine at the altar, as I spoke the words, I was given what I believe to be internal knowledge of the power of these words being spoken and the reality of their effect to the point that I had difficulty speaking. With each word, I became more physically overwhelmed as seen in the video. At the same time, I was given sensory knowledge of the weight of God’s power coming down upon the altar, and I felt the heaviness of Jesus’s substantial presence in the chalice in my hands. The chalice became too heavy to hold as I felt it pulled down to rest upon the altar. I felt my hands fixed to the chalice of the Precious Blood, and I could not physically move it. Attempting to elevate the Precious Blood, which I was not able to do for a period of time, I believe I was given grace to understand more deeply the bittersweetness of Our Lord’s Passion and how much blood Christ shed for the immense weight of all our sins. I believe I experienced this weight in the chalice. This spiritual experience emotionally and physically overwhelmed me as evident in the Mass recording.

Lastly, private spiritual encounters with God like these are completely unmerited gifts and signs of God’s abundant love for all his people. They are not necessarily signs of any person’s holiness.

I pray this brief testimony moves all our hearts to contemplate more deeply the mysteries of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and the Precious Blood.

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Brent Bowman

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the writing, editing and signing of the Declaration of Independence, reflect upon how the fight against tyranny always starts alone--with a personal conviction.

A man's faith in God, a loving wife, and wonderful children fan that flame of conviction into actionable things--finding allies, building teams, writing, taking a stand, reevaluating past alliances and more personal sacrifice.

May we salute those who have, are, and will honor and act upon those convictions. That action is what built and defends this nation against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.

@JordanLkarr @POTSLTD I know I shouldn’t be shocked by this…but wow. This needs to change!! It’s a completely unnecessary procedure

[Dr Taylor Marshall™️ @TaylorRMarshall]

This will blow your mind:

In the Eucharist, when we stand and listen to the Gospel lesson….

In the first decades of Christianity, before the 4 Gospels were written or circulated, at this point in the liturgy, one of the 12 living Apostles would stand up and tell a story they remembered about Jesus Christ (Gospel lesson) and then explain it (sermon). Then that Apostle would consecrate and distribute the Eucharist.

The 4 Gospels naturally took the place of the living Apostles over time. That’s why the Apostles commissioned the 4 Gospels. And it’s why we still stand - in honor of the Apostles sharing their memory of the very words of Christ.

The giants of our past show us the path to a brighter future, but we must fully commit to following in their footsteps.

That is why my advocacy in defense of individual liberty is done publicly and in my own name.

Thank you Charles Carroll of Carrollton, for showing us the way!

I don’t care how many captains got promoted.

I want to know how many admirals got demoted.

Tell me that, then we can talk gender and race.
