Mother Theresa is a saint regardless of miracles and canonization. People hold her on the altar of their hearts. For those who view the world and life through spiritual eyes, everything is a miracle, including the cure of an illness through the intervention of medicine and medical professionals. That most of us get along with each other is a miracle. Personally, that my doctor was able to successfully close a hole in my heart with a simple device within a two hour procedure and that I could go home the same day and resume my work the next day is a miracle of the medicine. For this miracle I thank God and the scientists and the doctors and all who contributed to this marvelous medical development. I stand in awe of human scientific achievement and that is a miracle. Scientists, doctors and human beings in general are God's agents of miracles who continuosly perform "mirabile" acts - acts of awe and amazement. The etymology of miracle is rooted in latin "mirabile". >> Dear Basilio and All: How wonderful that yours and Basilio Magno's "Sainthood Without Miracles" came miraculously to my mailbox, back to back :-) I have always maintained that there are many 'unsung' or undeclared saints, some our departed loved ones, who've worked miracles for us, and to whom we intercede when in need. Faith is for the believers. But, I would like to qualify by adding "some" before 'scientists, doctors, and human beings .. ....' for don't we all know that there are others who have done more harm than good? This world is full of good and bad guys. However, like Saul's conversion to Paul, nothing is impossible.
