Do miracles really happen?

Spain has also had its fair share of miracles. Ten people are known to have been cured in a way that science or medicine cannot explain. Carmen Arguelles suffered severe brain damage in an accident 1982. She was left in a coma and her parents were told she would die. Her mother placed a religious relic of Sister Rafaela Arnaiz under her daughter’s pillow. Within a few days she was fully recovered and showed no sign of ever being ill

   Alfonsa Garcia was taken ill with septicemia in 1976; she was 22years old and all her vital organs had collapsed. Her parents were told to prepare for her death, but one of them prayed to the virgin. An hour later Alfonsa was sitting up in bed and doctors could find nothing wrong with her. Today aged 48 she refuses to talk about what happened.

 Another case that of Jose Luis Gijon, is just amazing. He was left with two hours to live after a car crash in 1972. His parents prayed to a beatified nun called Maria Josefa del Corazon be Jesus Sancho Guerra and was cure. Now 30years later, Sr Gijon can only wonder at why he was given another chance.

  Jesuit pries Jose Luis Gomez Muntan was diagnosed with cancer of the lungs in 1987. His condition was inoperable-he had six months to live

  His family and friends in Madrid prayed to padre Rubio, known as the apostle of Madrid and Jose Luis was cured. To this day, he has shown no sign of regression.

   All of the above case histories are true. The people are real and the events surrounding their miracle cures are well documented. If medicine and science is unable to explain, what happened to them then we must look elsewhere. Christians will say that it is divine intervention and short of any other explanations, to the contrary they do have a fair case. Skeptics of course will claim that there is a perfectly logical explanation, that Mother Nature was at work, proving that with mind, and motivation the body can heal itself as many eastern tests predict.

  Meanwhile we can only wonder at the random nature of these events. If God saving people from the jaws of death, why only a few out of the millions that visited Lourdes over the years? Only  66 cures have been officially recognized, does that mean that there are other being processed or have they failed the strict tests set by the church?
