Miracle

A miracle is an event attributed to divine intervention. Alternatively, it may be an event attributed to a miracle worker, saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature. Others suggest that God may work with the laws of nature to perform what people see as miracles. Theologians say that, with divine providence, God regularly works through created nature yet is free to work without, above, or against it as well.

Famous quotes containing the word miracle:

    My faith shall wax, when thou art in thy waning.
    The world shall find this miracle in me,
    That fire can burn when all the matter’s spent:
    Then what my faith hath been thyself shalt see,
    And that thou wast unkind thou may’st repent.—
    Thou may’st repent that thou hast scorn’d my tears,
    When Winter snows upon thy sable hairs.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    Being a parent is too complicated and emotional a task for magical techniques and miracle cures.
