Don't leave 5 minutes before the miracle

New Priest Assistant at St Matthew's Ann Mellor confesses her belief in miracles, not just miracle face creams and cleaning products. "I believe in miracles. There I have said it. It’s not easy to say because we are used to ‘dumbing down’ our spirituality. We are afraid that we might overdo it. We risk being misunderstood or labeled or being in danger of taking our concept of miracles to extremes. The word miracle has become mundane as we are bombarded by the daily barrage of miracle face creams (I buy them!), and miracle cleaning liquids…worldly miracles that hold no surprise or doubt in our mind as to their efficacy. Or we think of the miracles of biblical proportions we find that if taken literally, they are well beyond our reach. No…I am talking about miracles from God, now in the present, working in our lives." Full text and video links at www.stmatthews.org.nz/nav.php?sid=535&id=1080
