When was the last REAL miracle?

The last "biggie" was probably at Fatima, Portugal in October of 1917.

Went something like this:

For 6 months three peasant kids had been claiming that the Mother of God was gonna do a spectacular thing in mid-Oct. As time went by and word of mouth and the atheistic press' enthusiastic dumping got around, thousands of people trudged out to the little field. For two days prior to the event it rained heavily. Now the rain in Spain may stay mainly in the plain, but apparently in Portugal it has a fondness for hilly areas, because the newspaper reporters who covered the event all said that the mud was literally knee-deep wherever there was any ground at all. The tracks and trails used by carts and cars were swimming depth in mud. Didn't stop folks though. The reporters' estimates of crowd numbers ranged from 50,000 to 75,000, hundreds and hundreds of them sick, crippled, disfigured from lupus or otherwise NOT healthy.

The children came, they knelt, they prayed the rosary. Those in the crowd who were believers knelt and prayed with them. What the children say they saw and heard is not moot to this. What the reporters, the crowd and even a few photographers saw IS.

First the rain stopped and the sun came out.

Then the sun decided to dance. It spun like a top, then threw off multi-colored rays like spitting rainbows which spilled their colors all over the field and the crowd. Then it appeared to plunge toward the earth, growing larger and more bright, though not hotter. People went ballistic, certain that it was the end of the world. Then, the sun went back to its original place and people, after they got over their terror at the sun's antics, noticed that they, their clothes, their carts, their cars and the ground were all bone-dry. Not a drop. As if it hadn't rained in two years.

Because this was less than 100 years ago and because the newspapers were so antagonistic to the church and to the idea of miracles, it really gets miraculous when you consider that those reporters reported what they saw. And their editors printed it. Period. Very few papers, and those what we today would call tabloids, made any commentary or editorial opinions at all. They just printed the story.

And for those pooh-poohers, guess what, folks. Those photographs still exist! So do those news accounts.

In the history of mankind and miracles, never has there been one that was so well-documented, so hugely witnessed, so spectacular, just as Our Lady said it would be. And yes, the dance of the sun WAS witnessed all across Europe that day. Thousands of people remarked upon it in their daily journals, including soldiers from both sides of the Great War, none of whom were even IN Portugal that day.

Miracles.

Miracles ceased with the death of the apostles. The only people who had the ability to do miracles were Jesus, the apostles and those the apostles granted the power to do so. However, those other than the apostles, who had the power could NOT pass it on. So once the apostles were gone and those who the apostles passed it on to were dead, the miracles ceased.

Presently, the real miracle that is still happening is to see the work of grace in the hearts of men, that the blessed Holy Spirit may turn

a child of darkness into a child of light!

That is the greatest miracle today!

How do you know nothing happens like that now?

I know there are a lot of phony healers out there, but God still works miracles. I have seen him change people's lives and work things out that were impossible.

there is no order in miracles. every miracle is of the highest order. miracles occur naturally, and the only reason they do not happen is because they are impeded by our own will.

if i told you the last miracle, you wouldnt believe me.

the kind of miracle that the bible claims Jesus did??

havent seen not ONE

It's a miracle anyone is stupid enough to believe all that crap.

I've heard that they ended with Jesus... and that they do still happen...
