A miracle

No wonder the Lord Jesus sighed inwardly… He left them there, got back into the boat, and left. How could those who a moment ago witnessed the miraculous multiplication of bread, and in general, admire so many extraordinary healing, ask him for a sign? However, according to their expectations, the Messiah was to boast of some more spectacular, more showy act, some astronomical feat; but the Lord Jesus did not allow them to put him on the level of a magician.

Even today, some think that some miracles would happen that would dazzle and convince atheists.

But, first of all – they certainly would not convince, because today’s man would not be able to explain them rationally.

Secondly – they happen even today, e.g. healing that doctors cannot explain by natural causes; we had many such extraordinary healing during the Renewal in the Holy Spirit congresses (e.g. in May 1993 in Czestochowa, Warsaw, Kielce, and Lublin), which society, in general, does not even know about, because our publicists were not at all interested in these phenomena.

And thirdly – if we understand a miracle as a phenomenon against nature or above nature, then nature after all – it is not only paralyzed bodies, broken arms and legs, but also paralyzed souls, defeated consciences, and broken hearts; and how many such healing, enlightenment, conversions take place during exercises, missions or visiting the image from Jasna hora! These signs can convince people of goodwill, although for others they are no signs.

And aren’t the sacraments of Jesus Christ the seven most miraculous signs – but commonplace? And isn’t the Sacrament of the Altar – the Eucharist, the most miraculous sign among them?
