It Really Happened: Europe's Most Ruthless Army Fled in Terror From "This"

It Really Happened: Europe's Most Ruthless Army Fled in Terror From "This" In September of 1240, an army of Saracen mercenaries in the pay of Emperor Frederick II breached the walls of the convent of San Damiano, in Assisi. Inside, defenseless, were the Poor Ladies of Saint Clare. And yet that army of ruthless veterans fled in inexplicable terror — before a gravely ill woman and a small silver case: the pyx holding the Eucharist. In this video we tell the true story of one of the most extraordinary Eucharistic miracles in Christian history: who Clare of Assisi really was, what happened in the cloister of San Damiano, the voice heard from the Blessed Sacrament, and how — one year later — her prayer saved the entire city of Assisi. An event reported by the sworn testimonies of the sisters and by the ancient biographers. 🙏 Write this invocation in the comments and repeat it with faith: "Jesus in the Eucharist, my only strength, protect my life and my family from all evil."
