Miracles. If people saw them than many would be believers. I have seen and heard of them here in my country. My paralysed Aunt got healed after a prayer. It was fascinating. She deserved it for never losing faith in God no matter how hard her life became. My uncle also had a big problems with his feet. When the priest came to bless the house and left, his family came back from talking with the priest outside and found him perfectly fine on his feet. We also have a church called. St Anthony Church of Padua. Hundreds of thousands of people go there On St Anthonys day, even Muslims. It has converted so many people into Catholicism. When Albania was under the Communist regime, it was one of the few Churches that survived. Story has it that the Dictator send many soldiers to destroy it but all of them fainted in the way, as the church is up in the mountain. Do you also have an extraordinary story to tell ?

I have a friend who had Stage 4 melanoma. It had spread to her lungs, liver, bones, and brain. They sent her home as there was nothing left for the doctors to do, and she and her family were making preparations for her to die. She also gradually lost the ability to walk and talk. This was over 2 years ago. She is now practically back to 100%. Still some lingering effects of the illness here and there, but the fact that she is still here is in itself a miracle.
 
The image on the Shroud of Turin is a miracle that, through photography, can be witnessed by almost anyone.
 
A dear friend on CAF was praying here for a miracle for her health before Christmas and I believe she received it, thanks be to God!
 
Thanks for your testimony Emanuel. To God be the glory and praise and thanksgiving!
 
I remember one time, my family and I were in a poor financial state. We prayed that God would take care of us. One day, we checked our mailbox and found a mysterious letter with no return address that contained some money. I don’t know if this counts as a miracle, but I think it’s a good example of answered prayer!!! 🙂
 
Two of my favorite miracles that I witness are the miracle of Jesus’ complete and active presence in every Holy Mass, and the miracle of deep conversion in the self, particularly in the sacrifice of impatience for greater patience.

Here is a glimpse of how I witness Jesus’ participation in the Mass:
 
My daughter had strep throat 7 times in a 9 month period, including 4 times in a 4 month period. Two doctors said her tonsils would have to come out, a third said we could wait and see one more time, but then gave us a cutting scissor sign when we were walking out. A few days later at a weekday mass my wife attended they happened to have anointing of the sick and the priest anointed our daughter. She hasn’t had strep in over 2 years since then.
Glory to God in the highest.
 
Also this rainbow that appeared on the Virgin Mary in our house.

Where to even begin. My wife and I conceived a child last Christmas, a child we had offered to God in our prayers every night for months leading up to her becoming pregnant. It was the happiest we had ever been. Our prayers had been answered and our dream of having a child together had finally come true.

Then close to a month later tragedy happened, we lost our child due to a miscarriage. We went from being the happiest couple in the world to being stricken with an unbearable grief. We couldn’t even function, we just sat on our couch and cried to each other and to God. We could not understand how or why this could happen. Regardless of the pain, we still thanked God and told Him we trusted in Him. It hurt but we understood sometimes God’s plans are different than ours because of His infinite wisdom.

While on our couch sobbing uncontrollably my wife cried out loud to God, “I just want to know if it was a baby boy or a baby girl!” She really wanted to know, for name sake and because of the personal bond we had formed with our child even years prior to the conception.

To make a long story short, later that day my wife told me to unplug a lamp that I was putting a lamp shade on so I wouldn’t get shocked. Normally I wouldn’t have done so because I would never think I could get shocked changing a shade like that. But you don’t argue with a greaving wife, so I did as I was told.

Well after it was unplugged I put the lamp shade on it. This lamp was one we had bought especially for the nursery we had been fixing up for our expected child. As I stepped back to check it out, and make sure I had put it on straight, something extrodinary occurred…IT LIT UP BRIGHT PINK, not once but twice!! I immediately turned to my wife and she says “I saw it too!” I had to look about 5 or 6 times to verify to myself that the lamp was unplugged. Sure enough, the plug was a good two feet away from the outlet.

Our tears of grief turned into tears of joy, we embraced and couldn’t stop smiling and laughing. We never thought we would ever know joy again, but with this miracle God healed us in an instant and we then knew we had a baby girl. What a precious gift and a blessing to us!!!

We were then able to complete the name. We had chosen Francis before not knowing the sex of our child. But right after that miracle we completed the name knowing it was a baby girl… Katherine Francis, “Katie Francis” to us.

Now some may think that was a coincidence, nope, light bulbs do not light without electricity, nor do they light up pink without a command to do so. We now leave the lamp plugged in and lit pink in her memory and as a reminder of how loving and awesome God is.

This was just the first miracle involving our little girl, there is much more!!! I will tell what has happened since that day in other posts to not be so long winded.

Glory be to God for His mercy, and His unending love, in Him we trust!

True, I even remember a program where a Jew who was an expert in this sort of thing and he even stated that a man couldn’t create this and people don’t want to believe because they would then have to accept responsibility to follow Christ. I believe he is still a Jew even though he said it was miraculous.
 
As my dear friend Irishmom said, I prayed for a miracle when they found Kidney Cancer on a scan they had done of me … the doctor had made arrangements to do the surgery; I went to Sloan Kettering … all the while praying for a miracle that the scan was wrong … they took an MRI and found nothing more than a small cyst … where the scan had shown something as large as 2 centimeters by 3 centimeters … I truly believe the Lord blessed me.
 
Thanks for your reply. I have read about Jews in Israel who decided to accept Rabbi Yehoshua as the Messiah. They still considered themselves as Jewish, but had to take their religious authorities to court in order to prevent being officially found to be not Jewish anymore.

Be very careful. A healing or unexplainable return to health is not done because someone “deserves it”. There are millions of people who are paralyzed who never lose faith in God, they do not deserve to be paralyzed.

God’s ways are not our ways, they are a mystery.
