It gets a little technical, but tries to make the point that the flesh and blood present in Eucharistic miracles are not literally Jesus's flesh and blood, but rather signs of His flesh and blood, just like the "bread" and "wine" are after they are consecrated. In both cases, it's the *substance* that is the actual flesh and blood, and the *accidents* are what we perceive with our senses. The confusing thing thing is that in the miracles, the accidents are human flesh and blood with similarities to Jesus's (rare blood type, signs of physical suffering). But they are not part of Jesus's literal body, because then they would have been cut out of His literal glorified body in Heaven.
