Yes, it is most certain that there are miracles perform. by God in the material world. They can be graded in three categories according as the events are beyond the power of nature to effect -- in themselves, or in the subject in which they are effected, or in the manner of the production (CV. 8).
Why has God performed such miracles, and does He still perform them?
God has performed, and may perform again as pleases Him, such miracles in order to arouse the mind of men, and to make them acknowledge His divine power which is brought into play for their well-being and for His own glory.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
