Deep in the lonely hours of one terrible August night three years ago, Dr. Ann Kay Logarbo quietly slipped to the bedside of her great-niece, Caroline Crouch, in the intensive care unit of Children's Hospital. Sedated and on life-support, Caroline lay near death, probably already severely brain-damaged by a massive viral infection. She was 6 years old.Logarbo, a pediatrician -- Caroline's doctor as well as her great-aunt -- bent to Caroline's ear and whispered an instruction:"I told her, 'Baby, I'm here because God sent me here. He told me he's going to send you back to us. Come back, baby. Follow God's angels back home." 'I need to know you're coming back, baby. So if you can hear me, and I know you can, turn your head to me.'"And that little girl, with tubes going in her every which way, she turned her head just a bit in my direction," Logarbo recalled recently. "The tech in the room about fell off the chair."What happened that day and days afterward has convinced Caroline's family that they witnessed a miracle in the literal, theological sense of the word: a divine intervention that reversed a naturally unfolding disaster.Her story has piqued the interest of the Catholic Church.

Because Caroline's family implored the help of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, among many heavenly figures, friends of the 19th century New Orleans priest say the story of Caroline's recovery is their best hope yet to be recognized as the decisive second miracle that might lead the Catholic Church to formally declare that Seelos is a saint.

Although I believe in a God, I do not believe in miracles as such. This was not a case of "divine intravention" but instead a demonstration of the power of the human mind and human belief. The child had undoubtably been indoctrinated all of her life about "God and his Angels" and when an authority figure made the suggestion, her mind "jumped through hoops" to follow the instructions given. No miracle, just human mental power and physical abilities. wink2.gif

This story is a real example of Miracles and that they do exist! thumbsup.gif

This does not qualify as a miracle - miracles are supernatural, this seems to be not from a supernatural source, the from an authority figure giving a command to a very receptive mind.....the human psyche and body can do many very wonderful things. Give the Creator credit for what he does, but don't burden him with primitive superstition! thumbsup.gif

Not to argue, but look it up...by definition, miracles are supernatural events, otherwise they would be nothing more that explainable phenomena! thumbsup.gif
