Dear Roland and Rev. Fr. Ivo, I cannot make anyone believe in anything, it is one's own prerogative whether they want to believe or not. But I do fully agree and believe in miracles. Waking up every morning is a miracle for me. I could have been dead before I see a new dawn, but God chooses that I wake up to thank Him for another day. Isn't the Birth of a new life a miracle? Who gave man the intelligence to believe or not believe? Can anyone explain that? Education gives man intelligence? Who created education that in turn creates intellingence? Who created everything that we see, smell, think about, feel, possess, etc? Isn't that a miracle? I could have been mince meat in an accident about 8 years ago in very heavy traffic, at superfast speed, on a very busy superhighway in Saudi Arabia. I have seen brain, limbs thrown 40 ft away from the body, etc situations on Saudi Roads, but I escaped with a minor scratch on my knee. Why did I survive that accident? Why did I not die the same way others in similar accidents do? Can anyone explain? I believe that was a miracle. Cheers Agnelo Fernandes
