It is one of the most important feast days in the Roman Catholic calendar. This morning the priest celebrating Sunday Mass on television shared this story. When I heard the story, I thought wow, I wonder if the story can be found on NASA’s website. NASA is doing experiments on how space affects the human body, sadly I could not find anything close to this story.

Here is the story the presiding priest shared:

In a book entitled Healing Through the Mass (pages 84-85, published by Resurrection Press and authored by Fr Robert DeGrandis S.S.J.), I read the following.

NASA did some experimenting with a special type of camera that could see the energy levels in the human body. This is then seen on a monitor. This energy shows up as an aura around the body. NASA’s interest in the experiment was to investigate the effects of space travel on astronauts in orbit. Experimenting in a hospital they discovered that when a person is dying, the aura around the body is thinner and gets thinner and thinner until the person dies. The scientist carrying out this investigation in the hospital and his associate were behind a two-way mirror.

They could see with their camera another man coming into the room with light coming from his pocket. Then the man took the object from his pocket and did something so that in the camera the whole room was filled with light and with their camera they could no longer see what was happening. They ran to the room to see what was causing so much light to appear in their camera. They discovered that the dying man was being given Holy Communion. Afterwards with their camera they could see that the aura around him was brighter. Although in his fifties, the scientist conducting the experiment decided to become a priest after witnessing that.

I am still mulling over this story.

P.S. The priest reminded us that the word Eucharist is Greek for thanksgiving. He said when we receive the Eucharist, we say Amen which mean “I believe”.

I really want to believe the story above.

Have a blessed and day filled with thanksgiving.

The Yes Program (had to research it) looks like a great program Kimathi and a great way to share your gifts! Thanks.
