IN THIS STRANGE TIME, GOD WHO SENDS US 'LITTLE' MIRACLES, IF ANY MIRACLE CAN BE CALLED SMALL

"The vigil took place on Saturday August 21 and the people witnessed a miracle! Rain started pouring but the crowd just cheered louder. Pope Benedict asked the two million present to quietly pray while Jesus was brought out during Adoration.
"The entire crowd was silent and the rain stopped! It halted for the entire time of Adoration. Once Jesus was taken away, it started pouring again immediately. 'The next morning was Mass," continues the Texas youngster. "My heart was pounding because I was chosen to bring up the wine at the closing liturgy.
"I sat on the stage and listened to the beginning of Mass. When it was time, I got in line holding the wine. With each step I took towards the Pope, my heart pounded faster and faster. I bowed before the Pope and knelt at his feet. His face is so kind and his eyes so gentle. Pope Benedict tenderly placed his hand on my forehead and blessed me.
