here are some engaging articles on matters miraculous:

Miracles as part of spiritual practice.

by Jean Luc Enyegue, S.J.

(Our thanks for viewing to America magazine)
 

Miracles as crucial to an understanding of Christianity.

Miracle stories found in the world’s great religions.

"Making Room for Miracles”
Introduction to The Book of Miracles
by Kenneth L. Woodward

Lakota Mary and Jesus by Brother Mickey McGrath
 

(Likely for Dorothy Day, the Incarnation -- the wellspring
of her faith from which all her activism flowed -- was the
greatest miracle.)

Dear friends and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, We hope that this missive finds you well on the feast of St. Scholastica, twin sister to St. Benedict and the founder of the first Benedictine monastic community for women. Taught by Peter Maurin, who loved the communitarian spirit of the Benedictine monks and nuns, and the esteem in which they held hospitality and manual labor, Dorothy took an early interest in the Benedictine tradition.

Dear friends and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, Greetings to each of you on a chilly winter morning! As I write this, the sun is peeking over the trees and illuminating the bird tracks on the snowy rooftop outside my window. These crisp days are exciting, especially for those of us who are just beginning the semester at school or university, and we hope each of you is finding fulfillment in good work undertaken in the new year. Our Catholic Worker community here in South Bend was recently blessed with a visit from our dear friend Carmen Trotta, an advisor to the Dorothy Day Guild and long-time member of the New York Catholic Worker community.

Dear friends and members of the Dorothy Day Guild, As Advent draws to a close and we anticipate the Nativity of the Lord, we hope that these are days of joyful waiting for each of you! All of us at the Guild welcome the chance to be in touch with you and to share a few updates, photos, and reflections before the great celebrations of Christmas. Dorothy loved this time of year
