Miracles:
irrefutable proof of the
Divinity of the Messiah


The word miracle indeed means any phenomenon produced by a supernatural force because it escapes the usual laws of nature. It is also confirmed in the popular lexicon, when it is said: "I can not make miracles... I can not do the impossible!". Existence of John the Baptist were sad, studded with troubles and adversities. He will be placed in prison of Machaerus, because he had publicly rebuked Herod, who took possession of Herodias , his brother Philip's wife.

“Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Jesus answered and said unto them, go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.” (Mt. 11,4-6)

These statements of Christ will be cause for conflict and contradiction: the famous Pharisees will deny the divinity of His doings "... but who do you think you are?".
 

But He can not be content with words and proclamations. Making miracles is the only way for Him to proof that He is the God who incarnated in man. And the miracles, that He had made, are His irrefutable proofs of this.

So why the Saints, who are men,
can perform miracles?


There has never been a man even if canonized saint who would be able to perform a miracle which is above nature.

And this also true to Madonna, who is the most exalted creature, but still human.
Yet, especially for believers, the appeal to one or another saint has exactly this motivation - expectation of great miracle.

Immediately clarify the misunderstanding: the request for a grace, a miracle, is always addressed to God, but is done through the intercession of the saint who we ask to help. This being declared with certainty by the Church: the saint, standing before God, may apply for and obtain what is asked in faith.


In fact Jesus is true God and true man, one day he said "Ask what you need, ask me insistently, even if you do not deserve it for your sins, and i answer your requests if you will be insistent".
 

As the language with God is pray, uncongenial to many of us, we rely on saints to intercede for us.

When the grace is obtained we should not only make a gesture of gratitude to the saint who has obtained mercy, but we should also say with faith, ...

Thank you my Lord

COMO É SUAVE SERVIR A DEUS
 E DESPREZAR O MUNDO
 

Falarei outra vez, Senhor, e não me calarei. Direi aos ouvidos do meu Senhor e meu Rei, que está no alto dos céus. Quão grande é a abundância das douçuras, que reservaste para os que vos temem ! Mas, o que será para os que vos amam e, de todo o coração,vos servem ! Verdadeiramente são inefáveis as delicias da contemplação, que, liberalmente, concedes aos que vos amam. Nisto, singurlarmente, mostrastes, a ternura do vosso amor: quando eu errava longe de vós, me reconduzistes ao vosso serviço,e me mandastes que vos amasse.

LOS CAMINOS DEL ESPIRITU

MARIA DE LA ESPERA

MARIA DE LA ESPERA
La auténtica tristeza se apodera de nosotros no cuando llegamos a casa por la noche y nos topamos con que nadie nos espera, sino cuando nosotros ya no esperamos nada. Sufrimos la más oscura soledad no cuando el fuego del corazón se extingue, sino cuando ya no queremos encenderlo, ni siquiera para la llegada de un posible huésped. La verdadera tristeza sobreviene cuando creemos que la música ya no tocará para nosotros, y que nadie volverá a llamar a nuestra puerta. Pensamos que ya nunca saltaremos de gusto ante una buena noticia, y que ya nada nos volverá a sorprender jamás. Y así la vida transcurre directo hacia un epílogo que nunca llega, como una cinta que terminó y sigue desenrollándose sin producir sonido, hasta que por fin se detiene.

Avevo sempre pensato, Maestro mio, che queste pessime accoglienze te le avessero riservate solo durante la tua Passione .

Invece trovo in questo passo di Marco che iniziarono molto prima. Dicesti che la bambina di Giairo dormiva …

Il tuo passo veloce sempre verso i deboli

Madre Teresa dei poveri!
Mentre la società del benessere
spinge a moltiplicare i consumi,
tu hai spinto il mondo
a moltiplicare l’amore per i poveri:
così ci hai ricordato che la gioia
non si compra con i soldi,
ma si ottiene dando amore
e spendendo la vita per gli altri.
