As everyone knows, Catholic history isn’t short of proven and suspected miracles. What is your favorite miracle or are their any that baffled you so much it helped your faith - please share 🙂

I am personally amazed by the appearance of Mary over a church in Zeitoun. Of course there are some who say - how do you know its Mary if she didn’t have a name tag…but whoever went to so much trouble to appear probably made sure it was known who they were or they would have corrected it haha!

Are the Zeitoun apparitions officially approved by the Church?
If so, can you direct me to the Church documents with the approval, please.
 
I, like you, am too personally amazed at the appearance of the Blessed Virgin over the church in Zeitoun. In fact, it was what made me come back to Catholicism from Agnosticism (I was agnostic during my early teenage years), because it was irrefutable and demonstrated that this world isn’t the only dimension that exists.

It also amazes me because it occurred in the so-called “modern age”. This didn’t occur thousands of years ago; it was there for all to see, and there were reported healings and conversions of millions. Photographs also confirm the authenticity of this apparition.

Atheists may try to refute this event as being “fabricated”, but please note that Christians are a small minority in Egypt (a Muslim country), and the apparition occurred at a time when Christians were persecuted.

I honestly believe that individuals who see these apparitions are beyond lucky. In fact, lucky is not the word to describe these people. If I had a million in the bank, I’d pay it just to see any future apparitions (if I’m lucky, I might even e able to draw up a conversation with the Blessed Virgin :D)

Thank you,

Forgive me, I’m not the biggest expert on the hierarchy of the Church, but I believe it was confirmed by the Coptic Church, as opposed to the Latin Rite.

LOL I think were getting lost in the purpose here - I know it’s not confirmed and not even our Church but it seems to prove another dimension with certainty like other miracles (maybe Our Lady was hoping to swoop in and convert 🙂 ; perhaps it was the wrong one to pick. How about Padre Pio’s bilocation…better?

…what miracles move you?

Padre Pio’s bilocation. . .not so much. I mean, of course, if it happened, that would be phenomenal. However, there is very little evidence that suggests he could do this. I think there was only one testimony, thus rendering it as an unreliable source. On the other hand, I was amazed at how it was reported Padre Pio could identify the state of your soul when you went to confession.

Thank you,

I’m still pretty new to this forum but from what I have encountered, it usually takes several hours for a thread to get responses.

I completely believe Padre Pio’s miracles! And as for my favorite miracle, it definitely has to be the Lady Of Fatima.🙂
 
The events at Zeitoun are definately exciting. I was enthralled when I first heard of them. 🙂

My favorite that I can think of though is the eucharistic miracle of Lanciano…even though it happened a very long time ago (8th centry AD!). I am a big fan of history, so I love this ancient stuff. It’s amazing enough that a host and wine turned into real flesh and blood…and they are confirmed human, and they match…but the fact that we still have them is pretty amazing! 🙂

You’d think it would have deteriorated into dust by now for sure, or gotten lost. Pretty cool.
 
The greatest miracles are the conversion of souls. St. Augustine said that the conversion of a soul is a greater miracle than when God created the universe, because when He created the universe, He created it from nothing, and this nothing from which He created it did not resist him as we humans do!

Did you know they tested that Eucharist against the Shroud of Turin, and it’s a match for blood type both AB the universal recipient :D.

When I said sheesh it was more about someone not responding to the question and just nit picking at me but hey…its a forum that’s how people can be; they are only human!

Yes, I did hear that! It’s pretty cool. However, I also heard that when people test “ancient” blood, there is a higher proportion that tests as AB than usual. This could be a coincidence, but there is also a hypothesis that when blood becomes very old it can “break down” into an AB type.

This is not proved for sure though…there are often as many questions as there are answers! Like I said I love this history stuff. Facinating. 🙂

That…makes a lot of sense!
 
How would it ‘breakdown’ into AB because they are all separate proteins? For instance, AB might become A or B over time - I’ll have to see their reasoning…I’m confused. Also, did you know ALL bleeding hosts have tested AB that are on record? What a NEAT thing - its science proving religion 🙂

—> I recently picked up a neat book at the Catholic book store and it uses science and artifacts to prove Christ and Miracles - very good book for the VERY secular world!
 
Definitely Our Lady of Fatima. First Marian Apparition I heard about.
