Miracles

We are people who look for signs and miracles to restore and strengthen and faiths and beliefs. We go about looking for signs. We visit places that we believe is a place where miracles takes place. As Catholic I know people thronging to places where a statue of Mother Mary weeps blood, a Cross that continues to grow, the picture from where blood and water flows from the feet of Christ, religious places like Lourdes and Fatima to for healing, or even closer to home Mount Mary and Velankani, because they need healing or made promises. We seek miracles and signs. But then we overlook so many miracles that take place everyday. Every time a new life is conceived that's a miracle. Every time love blossoms is a miracle in itself. When peace is made between warring fractions, vices are given up, bridges are built over gaps formed due to misunderstanding, a friendly hand comes to help of the fallen, all these are miracles and signs. When misunderstanding threaten destroy something beautiful created, a ray of hope coming in to help this misunderstanding disappear, that's a miracle. The bond that ties a family together no matter how different each member is from each other, that's a sign.

If God has provided us with so many Miracles, so many Signs then why do we go about searching for it???
