#miracles

"And now we step to the rhythm of miracles.--from The Light, That Never Dies"

"The universe is big, its vast and complicated, and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles. And that's the theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me."

"Surprisingly, the Christian faith today is perceived as disconnected from the supernatural world – a dimension that the vast majority of outsiders believe can be accessed and influenced."

"For years I was deathly afraid of my own weaknesses, but when I closed my eyes and let myself be vulnerable to them it allowed miracles to take place. Miracles that were only alive when I accessed my BLIND faith."

"To believe in miracles in one thing...to know what miracle you want to manifest right now, and accept it, is another."

"This is the story of how Dad lived with his lung cancer. But it is much more. Through his illness and the miracles we experienced, I came to see that Dad's was not just a journey. It was a journey home. Home to God."

"Faith requires following the power of a whisper."

"One does no question miracles, or complain that they are no constructed perfectly to one's liking."

"But miracles are not for the asking; they come only when the stern eyes of God droop shut for a moment, and Our Lady takes advantage of His inattention to grant an illicit mercy. God...is an Anglican, whereas Our Lady is of the True Faith; the two of Them have an uneasy relationship, unable to agree on anything, except that if They divorce, the Devil will leap gleefully into the breach."

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

"Out of difficulties grow miracles."

"Miracles don't happen. You make them happen. They're not wishes or dreams or candles on a cake. They're not impossible. Reality is real. It's totally and completely under my control."

"Why did they believe? Because they saw miracles. Things one man took as chance, a man of faith took as a sign. A loved one recovering from disease, a fortunate business deal, a chance meeting with a long lost friend. It wasn't the grand doctrines or the sweeping ideals that seemed to make believers out of men. It was the simple magic in the world around them."

"Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see."

"Mendel had a remarkable nature as a boy. I’m not talking about miracles. Miracles are a burden for a tzaddik, not the proof of one. Miracles prove nothing except to those whose faith is bought very cheap, sir. There was something in Mendele. There was a fire."

"CONCERNED BUT NOT CONSUMED!"

"A single moment of life has more miracles and worth than to live a whole life."

"Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives."

"I realized it for the first time in my life: there is nothing but mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor, browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don't even know it."

"A miracle is often the willingness to see the common in an uncommon way."
