The following day the pastor summoned all the faithful to assist at Mass at the Chapel of Isaac. As the priest began to celebrate Mass he noticed that the host was actually bleeding, and was thoroughly mystified. John Huldenberg, who was present at the Mass, assured the priest that he should not be alarmed. John then revealed his visions to the priest to reassure him that this was all in God's plan. The Host bled on the corporal for almost a week, until the entire corporal was soaked in blood. Then it slowly began to dry up and coagulate.
