DEar friends, Thre seems to be quite a hue and cry about the miracles.
SEEK N YOU SHALL FIND ; is a commonly known phrase, those who have sought excellence in a particular sphere has found it....is'nt it ? be it excellence in sports, education, public life religion, holiness etc. to be able to experience a mialce or get a mirale By th Hand of God, you need to be holy, prepered for it, seeking it - thus pls do not wish that miracles happen to everyone. I am seeing that the revealations by our lady of fatima, are happening, may be I sought - so why dont you all seek. wishes. RG. --- On Sat, 8/23/08, Fr.
