Has a miracle ever happened to you?

[annabananna]

If so, what was it?

[MaryByrne]

Yes. Thanks be to God.

Context: I am a Catholic convert - was atheist my whole life til 20, and went to Mass and wept like a baby and took steps to convert after prayer and contemplation.

Last November, a very scary and unexpected medical incident occurred, making me drop out of uni (I am thankfully able to redo it this year!) and basically became a borderline alcoholic and depressed. Would drink at least 2 bottles every night and numbed myself by gaming and just lying in bed.

On July 22nd, I forced myself to get up and go to Mass - as this day is the Feast of my Confirmation Saint Mary Magdalene, I knew I’d feel awful if I skipped it, so I prayed to just have the mental willpower to get dressed and go to church. And I did.
went to Confession beforehand, first time in ages, and I bawled and bawled when he told me he’s just so happy that im here, now, and to never forget God’s eternal and unconditional love for me. I received the Eucharist for the first time in over a month, and felt Jesus’ light fill me up in my soul.
Since then, my medical extreme illnesses have all but completely subsided, when the doctors, my family, my friends all feared the worst, even fearing I may have to be institutionalised. But God, through St Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary, saved me and I have never ever felt so full of LIFE and holy LOVE. God bless!!!

Yes. As of a few months ago, a family member rand his girlfriend became Born Again Christians and found not only Our Lord) s) more so in their Life, but a program to help them excel in life. Thank God.

Last year I got really sick and was hospitalized for diabetes, which I didn't know I had. I was in the hospital for days. My blood sugar was over 1400. Teams and teams of doctors came to examine me and review my case. Many said they'd never seen anything like it, blood sugar over 1400, I shouldn't have been breathing. After that, I lost everything I owned because of my narcsissist aunt, and I was homeless for a while, so I don't think it was much of a miracle. DIabetes sucks! I don't know how I got it, and neither does my doctors. I'm not overweight, and you can't get it from eating too much sugar, that's just a myth. It's a mystery!

[strateguy632]

wow 1400 is way high!! amazing not cause coma. o. m. g.

[annabananna]

I’m glad you’re still here. Hope that you’re managing your blood sugar now that you know.

My medical team from 2020 can't explain medically how I survived or why they kept performing CPR for four hours on a Covid patient (me) who was in full arrest. The doctor treating me said he just kept hearing a voice saying "keep going - he's going to be ok" until I revived.

[DannyUk2017]

Depends what you can "call" a "miracle", from where we stand since the "covid", even a simple "date" would be a MIRACLE, these days, as people become so opposite polarity that even you can feel their dark thoughts/souls, even you can feel their rejection just by looking at them, that's why in these days Everyone has been "programmed" to be "glued" to their electronics like Electronic Zombies (as i call them) , and less face to face socials... so yeah! 🤷‍♂️

I'm not religious. However, a few remarkable things have happened. I was born too early and six months after being born, I had to get skull reconstruction. Last year, I had a brain tumor removed and went into remission.

[Sparkie460]

I didn't die when I got hit with 480 volts, 30 amps. Instead of it holding me and killing me, I got thrown off of it

[exitseven]

Wow, that's something to walk away from.

[Sparkie460]

It took a while to be able to stand up and walk though

[exitseven]

I bet. The worse I ever got was 220 when I was hooking up a new stove

[MementoMori777]

Yep my life changed but to be fair everyday is a miracle, every breathe we take is a gift

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah.




I was almost killed by a person running a red light had I changed the lane to my left but chose to stay in the lane I was in

[Christoff92]

You mean the Laws of Attraction? What I believe is hardwork, consistency, dedication, trustworthiness, etc. Are the big differences in life ☺️

[Lara_Croft]

Too many. God is Good! He paid for my undergrad via a full scholarship, paid for my grad degree via an almost 100% scholarship and job

[butterly248]

I slept for 12 hours or more, a few times and it was bliss 😊

[Anonymous]

no. i don't believe in miracles anymore. Now I know that they're nothing more than God keeping us alive, or helping us with something so we'll be around for when he wants to torture us with more bullshit.

[genericname85]

how do i know that something that happened is a miracle?

[genericname85]

and what exactly is a miracle in the first place?

[strateguy632]

something beneficial that was also very unlikely.

[genericname85]

@strateguy632 so at what exact measure of unlikelyhood is it a miracle?

[slatyb]

I met a great therapist.

[exitseven]

I got through Discrete Mathematics.

[Agape93]

Depends on what you define as a miracle

[eagle1951]

[collie22]

I was born
