What I Have Seen and Heard - Archbishop Gregory's Weekly Column

Letter to the Editor

Published: February 1, 2007

To the Editor:

Do you know a small miracle? Most people do, if they really think about it. Not necessarily something major-league, like turning water into wine, but rather the everyday stories that let us recognize the presence of God.

Several years ago, I wrote a book titled, “Small Miracles, the Extraordinary Stories of Ordinary People Touched by God” (Zondervan, 1996). It told stories of people who responded to a letter just like this one.

Since God continues to touch our lives I think it’s time for a sequel. So I’m again inviting people to share their small miracles. It might be something that seems unimportant—except to you—perhaps a healing, an insight, an opportunity or an event that let you know God came close when you least expected it.

If your small miracle is included in the book, I’ll send you a copy. And even if it’s not used, you’ll know that just by sharing it, you’ll be helping to proclaim the presence of Lord.
