Miracles
By Sister Phyllis Ann, Major Superior of the Sisters of the Most Holy Trinity
What miracle are you praying for? You see, I live at Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine in Euclid, Ohio, and most of the pilgrims who come here come seeking a miracle. I am the administrator of our Shrine and have lived here for more than 25 years. I have seen some beautiful blessings given to those who come to genuinely pray.
Many graces have been received. Has it always been what pilgrims are praying for? No, but the answer to their prayers has always meant an outcome better than what they expected.
As for me, yes, I pray for miracles! My prayer recently is to be able to complete all the improvements we have in mind for the 100th Jubilee that we will celebrate in 2026. Have my prayers been answered? Well, if God doesn’t want a particular improvement to begin, it just doesn’t get off the ground, but if God wants something done then all the obstacles go away, and funding is discovered in the order that God wants them.
I have learned to say not my plan, but His. So, all of you who have helped us in many ways are part of God’s miracle. Imagine, in God’s plan we don’t even know how many miracles in which we participate. Thank you for being a part of our miracle! Just quietly peek in your life. Look for all the miracles that you may not see.
