When the miners in Chile were rexcued the whole world including Joao rejoiced (what a mixed bunch, believers, non-believers and so on). But, then, some folks started to claim it was a miracle because the miners prayed to Jesus and Mary! What about miners (and others) who have believed and prayed to Jesus and Mary and perhaps even Joseph and have been killed by natural disasters or other causes. I would have been happy if the people who claimed that it was a miracle had also mentioned other cases when prayers were not answered. Best wishes, Joao
