It would seem that no one is excluded from miracles as they can happen to anyone at any time, and whether they appear to be small or on a much larger scale, they are mind boggling. Miracles come in many forms, from the appearance of Jesus or Mary to an unexpected major disaster changing promptly to that of only a minor mishap. Many people believe that it is a strong faith in God while others simply believe that things happen for a reason.
People need something to believe in and the power of a possible miracle happening to them can change their whole outlook on life. Miracles have become so popular in the last few decades that t.v. programs featuring them have become a huge success. Many people who have been directly touched by a miracle do not second guess the power behind them, while others simply feel that it is a mystery or a strange twist of fate.
Stories about miracles pour in from all corners of the world, and many have been documented due to the nature of the miracle. Unsolved Mysteries has hosted shows on various people who have come forward to share their story due to these people being so touched by the very nature of miracles and all that they entail. Some people are personally touched by miracles and only witness the event for themselves, while other more famous miracles are obvious interventions of God against the laws of nature. They are the ones that astound us and are completely undeniable.
Documented miracles like the children of Fatima speaking to a lady that appeared and revealed many things from the Catholic doctrine, or the number of people affected by unseen healing powers in Lourdes, France can all be disputed, but tell that to the people who witnessed them first hand, and are now walking around with their health intact.
Celebrities have also been touched by these Devine interventions as well. Natalie Cole claims to have had an angel on her shoulder when her car flipped out of control and three ladies on their way to bible study pulled up to the crash revealing that they had just been praying for her. Evander Holyfield was banned from boxing due to a heart condition only to be healed after a prayer meeting with an evangelist.
St. Francis and St. Anthony have been credited with hundreds of miracles during their lifetime and thousands after their death. Many Catholics believe that dead saints are still performing miracles to this day by interceding on behalf of the sinner before God. It is quite possible that we as a generation are seeking to reconnect with God and true spirituality, and these miracles happening before our very eyes only stand to convince us that there is a unique being running our universe who can discern the magic behind life itself, and give us a peek at the divine within the mundane.
