Dr. Brandan Housler 949 Million Dollar Highway St. Marys I have often heard people wonder why God doesn't send us as many miracles nowadays as he used to, to show us his omnipotence. But he does. We just don't pay attention. Every year the Church beatifies and canonizes new saints - and each one of those requires full-fledged miracles. Every year promising young men and women enter seminaries and consecrate their lives to God - isn't each one a miracle, a double miracle in this day and age? Wasn't Blessed Mother Theresa of Calcutta a miracle? A humble, work-wearied nun from Albania becoming the most widely recognized woman on the planet? But I think the most obvious miracle of all, the most convincing and constant evidence of his omnipotence is Creation. The world of nature is familiar to us, but our technological advances have tended to dampen our wonder and awe at its beauty and magnificence. Pope John Paul II used to love referring to Creation as the first book of God's selfrevelation. Francis Collins, the director of the US National Human Genome Research Institute, the scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome code, is one of the few high-profile scientists who haven't lost this sense of wonder at God's creation. Here's how he described the experience of discovering the human genome code: "When you have for the first time in front of you this 3.1 billionletter instruction book that conveys all kinds of information and all kinds of mystery about humankind, you can't survey that going through page after page without a sense of awe. I can't help but look at those pages and have a vague sense that this is giving me a glimpse of God's mind." But it's not just scientists who find the glory of God's omnipotence in Creation. Blessed Lucy Kim Nursia, one of the Korean martyrs, gives a powerful testimony to this attitude. She was imprisoned for being a Christian when she was 22 years old. During her interrogation the authorities tried to mock and intimidate her by asking her if she had ever seen God. She answered: "Can a country man who has never seen the king believe that there is a king? When I see all the creatures on earth, I know that there is a Creator." We are surrounded by evidence of God's omnipotence. This all-powerful God, who changes water into wine, wine into the blood of Christ, and sinners into saints - this is our God, who has put his omnipotence at our service. Fr. Michael
