The belief in the possibilities of miracles, on the
contrary, implies that God's power is beyond any limitation whatsoever. For it
is only logical to believe that the Creator, Who is the sole Author of all the
laws operating in the universe, is above them and can, therefore, if He deems
it necessary, alter them at His Own Will. We, as humans, cannot possibly
attempt to read His Mind, and to fully grasp His Wisdom. Mystery is therefore
an inseparable part of true religion, and as such, should be recognized by the
believers.
