23 XIII | SECTION XIII: THE MIRACLES ~
24 XIII, 802 | 803. The beginning.—Miracles enable us to judge of doctrine,
25 XIII, 802 | doctrine enables us to judge of miracles.~There are false miracles
26 XIII, 802 | miracles.~There are false miracles and true. There must be
27 XIII, 802 | the proof which the true miracles give of the truth, which
28 XIII, 802 | is the chief end of the miracles.~Moses has given two rules:
29 XIII, 802 | one.~If doctrine regulates miracles, miracles are useless for
30 XIII, 802 | doctrine regulates miracles, miracles are useless for doctrine.~
31 XIII, 802 | useless for doctrine.~If miracles regulate...~Objection to
32 XIII, 804 | other outward; grace and miracles; both supernatural.~
33 XIII, 805 | 806. Miracles and truth are necessary,
34 XIII, 807 | prophecies, but always by His miracles.~He proves by a miracle
35 XIII, 807 | sins.~Rejoice not in your miracles, said Jesus Christ, but
36 XIII, 807 | Nicodemus recognises by His miracles that His teaching is of
37 XIII, 807 | He does not judge of the miracles by the teaching, but of
38 XIII, 807 | but of the teaching by the miracles.~The Jews had a doctrine
39 XIII, 807 | Christ, and confirmed by miracles. They were forbidden to
40 XIII, 807 | believe every worker of miracles; and they were further commanded
41 XIII, 807 | to believe the workers of miracles.~And yet they were very
42 XIII, 807 | Christ because of their miracles; and they would not have
43 XIII, 807 | if they had not seen the miracles. Nisi fecissem... peccatum
44 XIII, 807(178)| for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except
45 XIII, 807 | Therefore all belief rests upon miracles.~Prophecy is not called
46 XIII, 808 | 809. The combinations of miracles.~
47 XIII, 810 | Had it not been for the miracles, there would have been no
48 XIII, 811 | a Christian, but for the miracles," said Saint Augustine.~
49 XIII, 812 | 813. Miracles.—How I hate those who make
50 XIII, 812 | those who make men doubt of miracles! Montaigne speaks of them
51 XIII, 813 | 814. Montaigne against miracles.~Montaigne for miracles.~
52 XIII, 813 | miracles.~Montaigne for miracles.~
53 XIII, 814 | reasonable belief against miracles.~
54 XIII, 815 | credulous. They believe the miracles of Vespasian, in order not
55 XIII, 816 | say that they have seen miracles, and do not believe any
56 XIII, 816 | the same with prophecies, miracles, divination by dreams, sorceries,
57 XIII, 816 | concluding that there are no true miracles because there are so many
58 XIII, 816 | there certainly are true miracles, since there are false,
59 XIII, 816 | and that there are false miracles only because some are true.
60 XIII, 817 | there are so many false miracles, false revelations, sorceries,
61 XIII, 817 | should be so many false miracles, if there were none true,
62 XIII, 817 | concluding that there are no true miracles, since there are so many
63 XIII, 817 | contrary, that there are true miracles, since there are so many
64 XIII, 818 | 819. Jeremiah 23:32. The miracles of the false prophets. In
65 XIII, 818 | that He and His will be in miracles.~
66 XIII, 821 | themselves in judging of miracles by the Scripture. God has
67 XIII, 822 | If there were no false miracles, there would be certainty.
68 XIII, 822 | no rule to judge of them, miracles would be useless and there
69 XIII, 823 | has confounded the false miracles, or He has foretold them;
70 XIII, 824 | 825. Miracles serve not to convert, but
71 XIII, 825(183)| though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed
72 XIII, 825 | not believe in the true miracles is want of love. John: Sed
73 XIII, 825(186)| crucified, a religion without miracles and without wisdom." ~
74 XIII, 825 | foundation of religion. It is the miracles. What then? Does God speak
75 XIII, 825 | Does God speak against miracles, against the foundations
76 XIII, 825 | exist on earth. Now the miracles of Jesus Christ are not
77 XIII, 825 | foretold by Antichrist, but the miracles of Antichrist are foretold
78 XIII, 825 | Jesus Christ foretold the miracles of Antichrist, did He think
79 XIII, 825 | destroying faith in His own miracles?~Moses foretold Jesus Christ
80 XIII, 828 | before His death had the miracles not sufficed without doctrine.
81 XIII, 828 | prophecies, but only the miracles. Therefore the latter suffice,
82 XIII, 828 | whether He was not. For His miracles being convincing, they should
83 XIII, 828 | refuse to believe in the miracles in the present day on account
84 XIII, 828 | believed in Him, because of His miracles: "This people who knoweth
85 XIII, 828 | such a man who works such miracles"?~
86 XIII, 831 | 832. Miracles are no longer necessary,
87 XIII, 831 | happened in the time of Arius. (Miracles under Diocletian and under
88 XIII, 833 | Jesus Christ because of His miracles honour His power in all
89 XIII, 833 | honour His power in all the miracles which it produces. But those
90 XIII, 833 | follow Him because of His miracles, follow Him in fact only
91 XIII, 833 | blessings, discredit His miracles, when they are opposed to
92 XIII, 833(188)| Not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye... were
93 XIII, 833 | there are wrought strange miracles.~Which is the most clear?~
94 XIII, 833(189)| that is a sinner do such miracles?" ~
95 XIII, 834 | for excluding particular miracles from belief. No others need
96 XIII, 835 | so. The one party can do miracles, not the others. For it
97 XIII, 835 | of the others; and thus miracles are clearer.~
98 XIII, 836 | that it does not require miracles to prove it.~
99 XIII, 837 | Jesus Christ performed miracles, then the apostles, and
100 XIII, 837 | accomplished by them, the miracles alone bore witness to them.
101 XIII, 837 | not accomplished; and so miracles were needed during all this
102 XIII, 838 | greatly concerned about His miracles and try to show that they
103 XIII, 838 | God nor Jesus Christ do no miracles which are not certain. Nemo
104 XIII, 838 | has no power, which works miracles by the peculiar power of
105 XIII, 838 | These are not men who do miracles by an unknown and doubtful
106 XIII, 839 | As they are all without miracles, and as the Church has always
107 XIII, 839 | the Church has always had miracles against them, they have
108 XIII, 839 | doctrine must not be judged by miracles, but miracles by doctrine.
109 XIII, 839 | judged by miracles, but miracles by doctrine. There were
110 XIII, 839 | teaching on account of His miracles; others who said. There
111 XIII, 840 | 841. Miracles furnish the test in matters
112 XIII, 840 | between the two crosses.~But miracles would be useless to heretics;
113 XIII, 840 | the Church, authorised by miracles which have already obtained
114 XIII, 840 | not in it, since the first miracles of the Church exclude belief
115 XIII, 841(196)| 2. "No man can do these miracles that thou doest, except
116 XIII, 841 | believing unless there are miracles, but for not believing unless
117 XIII, 842 | and so have we. If you had miracles, good and well." That doctrine
118 XIII, 842 | ought to be supported by miracles is a truth, which they misuse
119 XIII, 842 | revile doctrine. And if miracles happen, it is said that
120 XIII, 842 | happen, it is said that miracles are not enough without doctrine;
121 XIII, 842 | misuse in order to revile miracles.~Jesus Christ cured the
122 XIII, 842 | and performed a number of miracles on the Sabbath day. In this
123 XIII, 842 | Pharisees, who said that miracles must be judged by doctrine.~"
124 XIII, 842 | is, and yet He does such miracles.~Jesus Christ spoke neither
125 XIII, 842 | be a secret enemy, to do miracles openly.~In a public dispute
126 XIII, 842 | Christ, for the Church, miracles have never been on the side
127 XIII, 842 | inconsistency, along with miracles.~There is a mutual duty
128 XIII, 842 | error, if the workers of miracles announced a doctrine which
129 XIII, 842 | and if a greater worker of miracles had not already wamed men
130 XIII, 842 | the Catholics, had done miracles, and not the Catholics,
131 XIII, 842 | When, therefore, we see miracles and a doctrine not suspicious,
132 XIII, 842 | difficulty. But when we see miracles and suspicious doctrine
133 XIII, 842 | I know; but who are ye"?~Miracles are for doctrine, and not
134 XIII, 842 | doctrine, and not doctrine for miracles.~If the miracles are true,
135 XIII, 842 | doctrine for miracles.~If the miracles are true, shall we be able
136 XIII, 842 | must judge of doctrine by miracles; we must judge of miracles
137 XIII, 842 | miracles; we must judge of miracles by doctrine. All this is
138 XIII, 842 | and the Church, should do miracles so as to instil insensibly
139 XIII, 842 | the heart should perform miracles in favour of such a one.~
140 XIII, 843 | perpetuity, a good life, miracles. They destroy perpetuity
141 XIII, 843 | good life by their morals, miracles by destroying either their
142 XIII, 843 | perpetuity, holiness, and miracles. The heretics deny them,
143 XIII, 843 | suffered martyrdom for the miracles which he says he has seen;
144 XIII, 845 | must not judge of truth by miracles, but of miracles by truth.
145 XIII, 845 | truth by miracles, but of miracles by truth. Therefore the
146 XIII, 845 | by truth. Therefore the miracles are useless.~Now they are
147 XIII, 845 | But Antichrist will do miracles."~The magicians of Pharaoh
148 XIII, 845 | God will not permit false miracles, or He will procure greater.~
149 XIII, 845 | impressive than all the miracles of Antichrist.~If in the
150 XIII, 845 | Ubi est Deus tuus? 209 Miracles show Him, and are a light.~
151 XIII, 848 | faith itself as well as in miracles? And if it is inseparable
152 XIII, 848 | When Saint Xavier works miracles. Saint Hilary. "Ye wretches,
153 XIII, 848 | who oblige us to speak of miracles."~Unjust judges, make not
154 XIII, 848 | conditis leges iniquas. 212 ~Miracles endless, false.~In order
155 XIII, 848 | morality of Catholics." If miracles are done among them, it
156 XIII, 849 | convinced of the Church.~Miracles have such influence that
157 XIII, 849 | against the authority of the miracles, nothing more indicates
158 XIII, 850 | visible, the other invisible; miracles with grace, miracles without
159 XIII, 850 | invisible; miracles with grace, miracles without grace.~The synagogue,
160 XIII, 850 | with God, and thus a type.~Miracles prove the power which God
161 XIII, 850 | miracle among heretics.~Miracles a support of religion: they
162 XIII, 850 | have obliged us to speak of miracles.~Abraham and Gideon confirm
163 XIII, 850 | Gideon confirm faith by miracles.~Judith. God speaks at last

166 XIII, 851 | is not said, "Believe in miracles"; because the last is natural,
167 XIII, 851 | this one perishes not.~Miracles are more important than
168 XIII, 851 | Old Testament and the New, miracles are performed in connection
169 XIII, 853 | because they doubted if His miracles were of God. Whereas the
170 XIII, 853 | unable to doubt that the miracles of Port-Royal are of God,
