  • I just wanted to ask the members of the forum if they have ever witnessed a miracle and if they have what was the miracle?

  • I don't call it a miracle, but a favor.  This was the word used on prayer cards of those who died.  If you receive a favor let .....know.

    I believe I had 2 favors.  The first was the day before my First Holy Communion.  Being from the mid-west, we enjoyed mushroom hunting, the best part was eating them.  My father took me and 2 other siblings out, looking for mushrooms.  We went into 3 woods and found nothing.  The 4th was the same and dad told us we were going home empty handed.  As a young child, I thought, oh no, God we need mushrooms to feed our relatives for this party at home, Sunday.

    So, as we were leaving the woods, I looked down this hill and I saw a mushroom.  Then I lost sight of it when dad called me to come.  I decided to look straight down the hill one more time and I saw, I ran and I yelled mushroom!  It was so tall, 7" or more, the sponge variety.  My dad said, don't move, you stepped on a lot as you ran.  We brought home 2 paper grocery bags full.

    The other one was over a year, but the prayer was answered in 2001.  I will tell it later.

  • Yes, I have personally experienced many miracles. Most of these miracles have happened because I am not a saint, but a sinner in need of repentance.

    My prayer is simple, "Lord save me so that I may have yet another day to pray and to repent". Everyday, I am grateful that God has granted my request  to view yet another sunrise and to repent.

    During one of the most recent miracles, I awoke feeling horrific pain in my left kidney area as if the cortical cyst there was going to burst at any moment. My husband went over to our dresser, took the relic of St. Matthew (a cloth touched to one of his bones), and placed it over that kidney. Within seconds, I felt blessed pain relief, and within five minutes, I was up praising God and making my husband some breakfast. The pain has not returned, and this incident happened several months ago.
    Lord have mercy.

  • I told this story on this forum before but here it is again.

    My daughter was unable to bear children and was heartbroken, she adopted two, which was a miracle in itself since it is difficult to adopt a perfectly normal newborn these days unless you have lots and lots of money which she did not have.  Prior to us finding the babies we prayed to St. Anne, who also was unable to bear a child then she gave birth to Mary who became the Mother of Jesus.

    Very sad but her little boy she adopted passed away just before his 3rd birthday of a tick bite and he contracted the fever.

    She cried and cried and we prayed and prayed, finally, Father told her if she could accept this Cross God would reward her threefold.  She prayed to accept it, and miraculously gave birth to three children, currently the youngest of the three just had his 12th birthday.  

    Prior to her giving birth to her first one, we prayed to St. Therese the Little Flower to help us accept the cross of losing the little boy; her first child was born on Oct 3rd, St. Therese's feast day, he is soon to be 16.

  • A favor came to our family.  My mom, New Order, lives in Indiana.  I went to visit (daughter) and my mom said we had a priest in the family, of the Precious Blood confraternity in Ohio and died in 1944.  I asked, where is he buried and do we have pictures. Answer was he was buried in Ohio.  No pictures of his grave but pictures of him.

    We had a drive to Carthegenia, Ohio and went to St. Charles (was) seminary. (May of 2000).  I wanted to see more and I was hoping to help my mom see the destruction on the Catholic Church.

    I found a door with a door bell.  I rang it and a elderly nun in white answered the door.  I spoke or our visit, for Fr. Rudolph Stoltz.  The nun was shocked, and said, I knew him.  Wow!  So, my mom and I had a lunch there and a tour.  

    I was so excited knowing my great-great uncle Fr. Stoltz was here years ago.  I asked to see the chapel and the altar.   Of course the altar was gone.  I spoke up of the shame of it being ripped out.  I watched for  my mom's reactions.  She was angry with me.  Not to speak up negatively.  I did any way. What else is missing in the chapel?  I was told there were side altars and they were removed and masses are said in the basement.  I showed my shock and my mother mad again.  

    We went to the basement.  It was damp and drab like a latrine!

    When we left, I knew my mom was going to yell at me, which she did.  She said to me, "You think you just know it all, don't you?!"  Then she said, "I just want to know why he wanted to become a priest."  So, I said, we shall pray for an answer.

    Well, I did! Then I thought, we have to get the answer from the "horses' mouth".

    In 2001, our whole family went to Indiana for my mom's 70th birthday.  She sats me down for a surprise!  The favor!  She put in my hand a very old letter, of May 28, 1905.  And it was written by Fr. Rudolph Stoltz to my mom's dad, my grand father.  I was crying miracle!  I said to my mom, you knew of this letter?  She answered, no.  She had found it.  I said, how did you come across it?

    Mom was looking for a picture of a model A car that was owned by her brother Ray.  She desired it to show a restorer of cars.  She did not find a picture but she found the folded up paper, the letter.  It said, Dear Herman, I understand from the last letter from home, you will be receiving your first Holy Eucharist.  This is the most joyous event in your life.  Pray for your vocation.  We I prayed for my vocation, I got a strong inclination to study for the priesthood.

    I was so happy and I told my mother, and the date on the letter is your birthday, 28 May!

    Did this favor change anyone's thoughts?  No, not at all.  But it was for me!  I have the letter in clear plastic on my buffet!

  • not we, but "when" I prayed.  The memoribila was in a box at my mom's nieces'.  My cousin.  Good thing the letter was found. My cousin is a fallen away catholic of 44 years.  It would have been a shame to have lost that precious letter!

  • I have told the story of my miracle before on the forum, but since this thread is about miracles I thought I should tell it again in short.

    When I first converted from a very sinful life I started going to an SSPX chapel on Sundays. I forget how many weeks I went before the miracle happened but it was no more than ten.

    What happened in short was that after the consecration of the host, during the elevation, I saw the host start to glow like the sun as I was kneeling and looking at it. Only I saw this. Other things also happened but that is the most important part.
    R.I.P.
    Please pray for the repose of my soul.

  • When I lived in Italy there was a priest who was member of an association that ministered to the sick. One day he told of this that happened shortly before.
    There was a healing service for the sick in a Catholic church. Shortly before the service a little girl who was sitting next to her grandfather said. "Grandfather, Jesus is calling me to come to him. What do I do?"
    The grandfather said, "If Jesus is calling you, then you must go to him."
    The little girl then got out of the wheelchair that she was in and ran across the sanctuary to the tabernacle to Jesus who was calling her.

  • Healing service?  Sounds like New Order, because every Mass is a miracle.  New Order makes for all kinds of services, like protestants do.

    The child did get out of her wheelchair and run across the sanctuary towards the tabernacle where Jesus was calling her.

  • I have read that the devil will cause various illnesses like the above, so that false miracles can occur.

  • This is from 2010:

    My mother, myself and all the siblings were traveling around June. We were going a distance of approximately 180 miles from home. The road was burning hot, as it was Summer. Half way to our destination, the back left wheel of our SUV exploded. The controle of the car was lost, and we rolled down a hill, and the car was totaled. When it was over, everyone was upside down, hanging from their seats by the seat-belts. Naturaly, no one knew if anyone was dead but, one assumes so, after something that traumatic (all were alive though, thanks be to God). After a few minutes, we all got our bearings and squeezed out the back window and climbed up the hill to look at the wreckage and be checked by the medics. One man, who stopped to render aide before the ambulance or any other came down to help, asked as we climbed the hill "Is there anybody still stuck inside?" The man stared in disbelief, with bulging eyes and gaping mouth when told we were all out and alive.

    We believe this miracle is due to the Scapular, as one has always hung from the mirror in our vehicle. I don't remember but, we probably said the Rosary too, as we usually do when in the car.


    Deo Gratias!
    Many people say "For the Honor and Glory of God!" but, what they should say is "For the Love, Glory and Honor of God". - Fr. Paul of Moll

  • Many years ago my great grandfather was in the hospital with a heart ailment of some sort. The priest came in and gave him the last rites. then the nurse came in with his medicine. She took his pulse and his temperature. I don't know what other tests she did but when she was finished she threw his medicine away because he was cured.
