C) “Healing miracles do not happen today.” Do you agree? Give reasons to show that you have thought about different point of views.

I disagree, as I believe that miracles do happen today. I believe that a miracle occurs to each person at least once in his or her life. It has happened in the past, why not now. Jesus performed miracles so that indicates that miracles do exist, miracles need faith for them to be made possible and faith leads to hope.

There are many volunteers needed to help take care of the many children that have come to Lourdes, over 1500 children go to Lourdes, so they need as many volunteers as they can get. One year 200 nurses, 56 doctors and over 150 priests went to take place with the children, this is not a miracle but at least it gives hope to the children that go there.

A few miracles have occurred at Lourdes and one man said “don’t go in search of miracles, a cure may not be given, but may be given strength to cope”.

Healing can be spiritual, emotional or physical. One way to be healed spiritually in the Catholic Church is the sacrament of Penance. It is when Christians/Catholics go to confession where they confess their sins, and then the priest declares forgiveness, this may not be a miracle but it is a Christian way of healing spiritually.

A physical way to be healed or given hope is the Anointing of the ...
