Isn’t that what you do anyway? You start with an idea and then you want to argue with yourself when others give you an answer?
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.
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.

I watched a movie on that recently
Indeed it’s on Netflix. Very well done. Not on the same level as The Chosen but close enough.
It is likely not much can measure up to the quality of story and production values of The Chosen
In this forum I’ve seen a lot of things but I rarely see anyone mentioning miracles.
So, here I am creating one.
The miracle of the sun in Fatima, Portugal. Three children saw the Virgin Mary.

This man grew a leg.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_of_Calanda
Virgin Mary apparitions in Egypt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Zeitoun
Virgin Mary apparitions in Mexico.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Guadalupe
Padre Pio had stigmata in his hands.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padre_Pio
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.
I have this observation about you list of miracles:

2Th 2:9 even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:
Fatima is actually pretty comical. When you study it, it's full of holes. Some people will simply fall for anything.
Another amazing miracle story is the story of Colton Burpo which was later made into a film: heaven is for real
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_Is_for_Real

Another movie similar to that one is the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracles_from_Heaven_(film) Miracles from Heaven movie where a little girl has a profound experience.
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.
Miracles praise God I remember RW Schambach told a story about a baby with 26 I think things wrong could not walk or speak had no eyes and thousands witnessed it. For me when a person gets the glory and praise where the man or woman gets all the praise and glory. To just know those in heaven being lifted up when all they ever wanted was you to see Christ never them.
To become a saint that has had a few revisions. " a miracle is considered proof that the person is in heaven and can intercede with God." That right there is a huge red flag.

I prayed in tears, weeping uncontrollably for days, for someone’s epilepsy to stop. God finally answered and, years later, her epilepsy hasn’t returned. I give glory to God for that.
