Before we define them let us determine that our discussion will be about
Catholic Church Miracles.
Now as we discussed on the homepage that a Miracle is an event where the natural laws of nature are circumvented.
Therefore a religious miracle is an event where God has intervenedand and allowed the natural law to be changed.
They
have occurred through the centuries in the lives of the Saints and
history of the Catholic Church and still occur to this very day.

Prayer:
is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is
abandoned, hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the
place of admitting our need, of adopting humility, and claiming
dependence upon God.
Miracle:
is an event contrary to the laws of nature. Such things do not happen.
Science has the potential to explain everything eventually.
Numinous: It refers to the prescence of a spiritual or divine power.
Conversion:Belief in conversion, and the necessity for it, have always been at the centre of evangelical.
