Thanks, Kathleen. I am hoping folk’s understand what I am attempting to say with the fact of a supernatural action & what role faith & charity play into the realization of the supernatural. My above comment goes a bit deeper into it.
The reflection is not to question the miracle—the act of the supernatural. I believe the miracle happened as the narrative in its plain reading suggests. Perhaps, a self reflection of myself who has legitimately never witnessed a miracle, an act that breaks into the natural world. Why?
Jesus says the faith of a mustard seed can move a mountain. And following the synoptic tradition, even though this particular passage is in John’s Gospel, the movement of intellect by means of the will w/ acts of charity—how much does the distributive act—the twofold movement of faith that charity open us up to the supernatural?
Beautiful and accurate. I wish more folks indeed everyone could read your reflection!!!!

For this I will pray
In giving and sharing our gifts are multiplied. Beautiful. Love and God reveal the lie in zero sum thinking.
