The miracles thread

Okay, so I’m not sure what you want to discuss here after I gave you my answer.

I get it, you don't want to discuss it. That's fine, I'll carry on without you.

Catholic Encyclopedia--Sacrifice of the Mass

Here’s an interesting example of how miracle power can work. Apparently, just touching Jesus’ cloak may have been enough in some cases. Jesus said after his cloak was touched that power went out from him. It seems like he wasn’t even sure who touched him, but that didn’t stop her faith from healing her.

Luke 8
43And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
47Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

For 14 years the Catholic Church investigated a young boy’s miracle, putting it through the Church’s very rigid vetting process so that they could make their official decision.

The miracle of the sun in Fatima, Portugal. Three children saw the Virgin Mary.

I watched a movie on that recently

Another thing that I find interesting is why very very few talk about Peter walking on water !

Indeed it’s on Netflix. Very well done. Not on the same level as The Chosen but close enough.

In this forum I’ve seen a lot of things but I rarely see anyone mentioning miracles.
So, here I am creating one.

That‘s all I can think for now but there is so much more and we are not even including personal testimonies here but these are sort of like large mass-events.
Personally I’ve seen an angel in a church and that’s a major miracle to me.

So go ahead add your miracles or feel free to comment.
I look forward to a colorful discussion.

For 14 years the Catholic Church investigated a young boy’s miracle, putting it through the Church’s very rigid vetting process so that they could make their official decision.
In 1998, four-year-old Luke Burgie was suffering from a debilitating gastrointestinal condition. For six months he was experiencing eight to ten violent bouts of diarrhea and doctors could not figure out a cure. They tried everything from antibiotics to diets and tests.
As the doctors continued to look into other explanations for Burgie’s condition, the young boy’s mother decided that it was time to get some very strong prayer warriors on their side. She asked Sister Margaret Mary Preister and Sister Evangeline Spenner to join her in prayer for her son’s recovery.
For nine days the two nuns prayed a special vigil for Burgie and as soon as their prayer vigil had ended, the little boy woke up no longer in pain. His condition never returned. After completing a thorough investigation, the Church announced that they believed Burgie’s recovery had been a miracle.

In the Catholic Church, do you have to have a number of confirmed miracles before being considered for sainthood?

I have no idea. All I know is that these miracles from God turn more people to God and it gives others Hope in Jesus and His return.
